Of the sides finishing top six they scored the fewest amount of goals (58) with Marcus Rashford as their leading scorer with 17 strikes. Hojlund, meanwhile, posted nine goals across 32 appearances in Serie A with Atalanta, which proved to be his only season playing Italian top-division football.<\/p>\n<h4><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\">How does Hojlund compare to rival Premier League strikers?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>H\u00f8jlund arrives in the Premier League with nine Serie A goals from 1,832 minutes of playing time.<\/p>\n<p>He is 191cm, the second-tallest behind Erling Haaland among the strikers selected in the comparison below. But H\u00f8jlund ranks lowest for aerial duel success and didn&#8217;t score a headed goal in Serie A. Nor did he for Sturm Graz in the Austrian Bundesliga, where he scored nine times in 18 games.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Ilzer, who managed him at Graz, says &#8220;he has flair, speed and an above-average footballing intelligence,&#8221; which is reflected in H\u00f8jlund&#8217;s statistical output. He excels in ground duels, averaging the most completed take-ons and ball recoveries of the five strikers here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1318633\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1190\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL.jpg 1190w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-106x70.jpg 106w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-66x44.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-180x119.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-362x240.jpg 362w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-906x600.jpg 906w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-240x159.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-1100x728.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-85x56.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2023\/08\/05205404\/1318628_1318628_Hojlund-v-EPL-330x219.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1190px) 100vw, 1190px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>H\u00f8jlund&#8217;s youth coupled with moving to a more demanding league has made United legend Ferdinand cautious about Hojlund&#8217;s performances in the forthcoming season.
