Manchester United’s 20-Goal Striker Drought: Can Zirkzee or Hojlund End the Wait?

Manchester United’s search for a prolific striker continues, with the club failing to produce a 20-goal Premier League scorer since Robin van Persie’s 26-goal season in 2012/13. This drought is particularly concerning, considering that 10 other teams have had players reach this milestone in the same period. The arrival of Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund this summer, both known for their scoring prowess, offers hope for a change in fortune. Zirkzee, who scored on his debut, has shown a hunger for goals and impressive ball control, while Hojlund brings a proven track record from Serie A. The pressure is on for the new signings to deliver, especially against Liverpool this weekend, as Manchester United aims to break their goal-scoring slump and challenge for trophies.
