Ten Hag Teases Formation Change At Man Utd With Hojlund Return: Could We See Two Strikers?

Erik ten Hag has hinted that Manchester United could switch to a two-striker system following the imminent arrival of striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the Atalanta forward for several months, and it is now believed that a deal is close to being agreed.

Hojlund is a highly-rated young striker who has scored 12 goals in 32 appearances for Atalanta this season.

His arrival at Old Trafford would give Ten Hag the option of playing with two strikers, something he has not done since taking charge of United.

Ten Hag has typically favored a 4-3-3 formation at United, but he has admitted that he is open to changing to a 4-4-2 system if he has the right players.

"I think we have a good squad," Ten Hag said. "We have a lot of options. We can play with one striker, we can play with two strikers."

Hojlund's arrival would give Ten Hag the option of playing with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial as a front two.

Rashford has been in excellent form this season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions, while Martial has also impressed when given the chance.

The addition of Hojlund would provide Ten Hag with even more firepower, and it could help United to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

Hojlund's Strengths

• Hojlund is a powerful striker who is good in the air.
• He is also a good finisher, and he has a knack for scoring goals.
• Hojlund is still only 20 years old, so he has the potential to improve even further.

Hojlund's Weaknesses

• Hojlund is not the quickest striker, and he can sometimes be caught offside.
• He is also not the best passer of the ball.
• Hojlund can sometimes be guilty of trying to do too much on his own.

Overall

Hojlund is a talented young striker who has the potential to be a top player.

If he can improve his weaknesses, he could become one of the best strikers in the world.

His arrival at United would be a major coup for Ten Hag, and it could help the Red Devils to challenge for the Premier League title next season.
