The new factors chosen by coach Erik ten Hag really help Man Utd play pressing better.
Man Utd got off to a shaky start with consecutive defeats. They lost 4/6 first matches, their performance was extremely poor.
However, the crisis temporarily subsided.
Accordingly, the Red Devils won 2 consecutive matches in the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
There, Hannibal Mejbri is the huge difference. This young talent was given the opportunity and immediately made his mark.
According to Sky Sports, Hannibal averages 100 pressing phases per 90 minutes, the highest in the Premier League. Ranked 2nd is Rasmus Hojlund with 78.8 phases.
Hannibal also averages 14.4 pressing spurts per 90 minutes. This parameter continues to top the Premier League.
Hannibal scored the first goal for the Red Devils with a superb long-range shot, causing all the fans in the Old Trafford stands to explode.
Since then, Hannibal has been regularly given opportunities by coach Erik ten Hag. Specifically, he had two consecutive starting matches against Burnley in the Premier League and Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. The special thing is that in both of these matches, Man Utd won.
It is not surprising that Man Utd is preparing to negotiate a contract extension with Hannibal.
As for Hojlund, coach Erik ten Hag has the type of striker who is as active as expected.
What the Danish striker has shown since moving to Man Utd is extremely promising. Hojlund just lacks a little luck to have more goals for Man Utd.
