Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov has insisted that the Red Devils duo Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund are ‘lost and wasting all their energy’ playing under manager Ruben Amorim....Read Full Article >>➤
Berbatov spoke as Man United were defeated 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.
Amorim’s side dropped to 15th position on the Premier League table after losing to Spurs.
Meanwhile, Zirkzee started the match against Tottenham in one of the two no10 roles behind Hojlund.
However, Berbatov believes Zirkzee dropped far too deep, finding himself ‘out of position’.
He added that Hojlund has not been utilised well in Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation.
“You are being judged on how you play in that system and you are able to see you are not giving your best because either the system is not good for you or you play out of position,” Berbatov told Premier League Productions
“We go back to Zirkzee playing out of position, running all over the place, looking lost so you cannot use his best qualities.
“The same for Hojlund, he is wasting all his energy tracking back to cover the space because the fact the midfield is too far away from each other.”
“There are holes to cover then when you go forward, you have wasted all your energy,” he added.
