MANAGER Ralph Hasenhuttl believes goalscorer Che Adams is becoming a complete forward player for his side, as he added to his tally at Manchester United.

The 25-year-old’s neat second-half finish ensured Saints came away with a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, cancelling out Jadon Sancho’s first-half opener.

Adams now has eight goals in his past 14 games for club and country, since the start of October.

But the Scotland international could also be seen sprinting back into his own box against the Red Devils, as Hasenhuttl’s men continued their three-game unbeaten league run.

Asked whether Adams is becoming the complete forward player for him, Hasenhuttl told the Daily Echo: “Yeah, because this (tracking back) is what you have to do in our team.

“This is the reason why you sometimes lacking a little bit of freshness in front of the goal.

“But he has learned to work hard for the team and to score goals now. This is what you have to do particularly in modern football, otherwise it’s not working.

“For us as a club, it takes a little bit of time when you have to learn this but I think he has shown he can do this and the average of scoring is fantastic.”

Adams has formed a threatening strike partnership alongside Chelsea loanee Armando Broja in recent weeks.

The pair have both started the past three Premier League games for Saints, in which they have drawn with Manchester City and United, in between a 3-2 victory over Tottenham.

“I must say, up front they work for each other and I have a feeling it gets better and better connected, which is good to see,” added the Austrian boss.
