Another absolutely brilliant and insightful MNS from @jakeentwistle.bsky.social
The analysis of Højlund suggests that he would’ve benefited from another season at Atalanta (I agree) and, does make me wonder:
Did Gasperini make him look more prepared and effective than he actually was?🧵👇

Rasmus Højlund has all the tools to become a dominant striker.
However, of the 175 forwards with 450+ minutes in Europe’s Big Five Leagues this season, he ranks 174th for Shots per 90 (1.02).

But, that he was there for such a short period that the qualities Gasperini’s system fostered didn’t yet ingrain into his skillset or mindset (e.g. types of runs).
But again, the problem may be that he wasn’t in that role long enough to retain the traits, so at Utd he’s reverted to how he played pre-Gasp
With Højlund however, rather than a rehabilitation after a failed move, it may be the reverse.
