"All strikers in the Premier League are serious challenges," he told Voetbal Primeur. "If you're not sharp enough, they score.

"Last time we played against United, we met Joshua Zirkzee. He's a top player. Then Rasmus Hojlund came in. Also a top player. 

"It's matchups that you look forward to. The same applies to Arsenal with Kai Havertz, Manchester City and Liverpool."
