EPL: Fabregas Compares Man Utd Striker to Benzema

Former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has praised Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee, comparing his style of play to Karim Benzema’s.

On the Planet Premier League podcast, Fabregas noted that Zirkzee, who came off the bench to score the winner in United’s 1-0 victory over Fulham, excels by dropping deep and participating in build-up play.

Fabregas remarked, “Manchester United were somewhat unconvincing against Fulham, but Zirkzee made a significant impact. As a striker, he plays like Karim Benzema—a false nine who drops deep and joins the attack late. He has a knack for finding the goal and is a great addition.”
