2)  Gakpo’s Passing Numbers Are Far Superior

Gakpo

The winger averages 3.2 progressive passes, 2.08 passes into the final third and 4.72 key passes per 90 minutes for PSV this campaign. Rashford and Bailey simply can’t compete on these figures.

When it comes to key passes, Bailey averages just 1.3 per 90 in the Premier League while Rashford’s figure is a paltry 0.8. The Manchester United forward’s progressive passing is slightly better (1.92 per 90) but Bailey’s number is only 0.98.
