Having completed a transfer from Atalanta to Manchester United for a staggering fee of up to 72 million pounds, 20-year-old Hojlund found himself unable to make his debut for the Red Devils due to a back injury sustained during pre-season with his former team. Despite the setback, coach Erik ten Hag assured fans that Hojlund’s absence from the field was temporary, stating that the young striker was not quite ready to make his debut due to a minor problem. Nevertheless, the coach expressed confidence in Hojlund’s abilities and emphasized the team’s satisfaction with their choice to acquire the talented forward.
Manchester United has experienced some struggles in the attacking department, scoring only four goals in their first three Premier League matches of the season. Marcus Rashford, who has been playing in the forward position, has faced difficulties in finding the back of the net. As a result, the anticipation among Red Devils fans for Hojlund’s debut continues to grow. Numerous sources speculate that the young striker may have his first opportunity to showcase his skills for Manchester United in the upcoming match against Arsenal this weekend.
