To determine the better team between FC Porto and Man United in EA FC 25, we will compare the ratings of some of their top players.

On the other hand, Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund are Manchester United's two top strikers in FC 25, featuring 79 and 78 Overall ratings, respectively, and 77 each in Shooting.

He is 81 Overall and rated 83 in Shooting. Rashford's 89 Pace is a major asset in the attacking department too.
