Why is it Mullock seems to be the most informed journalist on what we are doing? He seems to have sources he was all over us last summer too.
This guy literally gets it and what a lot of people seem to be not understanding when trying to analyse him as a traditional #9. It's about attributes, this kid can score left foot right foot and head and cross excellent. When we attack a low or mid block and build up with our fullbacks pushing up providing width and overlap, Gakpo will be in a inside left channel drifting and rotating into striker with Rashford.
When we are recycling the ball around he will be able to be used wide to deliver great balls in, as well as be in central areas to use his powerful finishing and good striking ability. We are not just trying to be a counter attack team anymore where we need one man leading the line, Rashy is likely going to be used upfront for that counter purpose for those types of games.
