Erling Haaland is better version of a top striker in EPL. He's weigh level up and experienced than Rasmus Højlund, though the new boy is trying his possible best. Rasmus Højlund is a good player with fast understanding chemistry with his teammates. Despite the poor form of Manchester United, he has always proven to be an outstanding player in the team, Erik Ten Hag is also proud of the newly signed attacker, people do consider him to be young to handle such crucial frontline position in Manchester united but he's exceptionally having one of the peaks in EPL currently, also making impacts in UEFA Champions League this season. He's young and have more promising years to play football.
Indeed, Erling Haaland can be the best striker because he has full support from his teammates, especially with KDB, he is pampered with classy assists so that with his positioning ability he can do his job well to score goals. Rasmus Hojlund at Manchester United does not have a partner like that and sometimes their midfielders are also less creative in creating opportunities. The difference between these two strikers is actually fundamental and maybe if Rasmus Hojlund gets support from his partner with neat passes, it is possible that little by little he will be able to catch up to Erling Haaland's level.
So, basically Erling Haaland can become the best striker thanks to the full support of the Manchester City players and Rasmus Hojlund doesn't have that completely at Manchester United. So Rasmus Hojlund will often feel pressure in every match and it is not easy.
Yes, it is true that Haaland can perform very well and can become one of the best players in the Premier League because of the support of his teammates who always provide support such as De Bruyne who always provides assists for Haaland goals.
But because he was absent from the match it also appeared that Haaland experienced slight decline in performance and he was no longer as sharp in launching attacks even though he was still dangerous sticker player owned by Manchester City.
If we talk about Rasmus Hojlund he is actually also young striker owned by Manchester United and could have big chance of becoming Haaland competitor for the title of best player in the Premier League but this season it seems he is more focused on the Danish national team in to Euro qualifiers.
His performance with Denmark was also very good because he managed to provide seven goals with one assist in eight matches.
