Man Utd striker Hojlund: Must be more to my game than goals

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund says there must be more to his game than goals.

The Dane has scored in consecutive Premkier League games.

"It's very important, especially the way the game is developing as well," he told Inside United.

"The criteria for a striker is more demanding now than it was probably 10 or 15 years ago and, yeah, you need to be even more complete as a striker. I try to be that every day, in every sort of aspect, all of those things you just mentioned [pressing, work-rate, hold-up play, physical strength] are some of them.

"Pressing is also a big part of it, especially with this manager [Erik ten Hag]. He wants to put pressure on the other team and the other opponents. So, for me to do the whole process, it's very important for the team."
