After enduring their lowest-scoring season in Premier League history, it’s no surprise that Manchester United are targeting a revolution in Ruben Amorim’s frontline.
The Red Devils are blessed with a talented young crop of attackers, but finding a combination boasting the requisite harmony has proven to be a challenge.

The ego-laden but undoubtedly gifted Brazilian has proven his worth in England, but will he function as a direct challenger to Amorim’s current striker options: Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee?
Here’s a statistical comparison of the three, as we dig deep into their goalscoring, playmaking and defensive capabilities.
