Man Utd receive injury boost ahead of EPL clash against Arsenal

Manchester United have received an injury boost ahead of  their Premier League clash against Arsenal. The Gunners will play host to the Red Devils on Sunday at the Emirates.

United’s summer recruit Rasmus Hojlund is set to make his debut against Arsenal. The Dane’s national manager, Kasper Hjulmand has made this revelation.

Hojlund joined United in a deal worth £72million

The striker has been named in the Denmark squad for the September internationals. The gesture therefore suggests he is fit to play some part in United’s clash against the Gunners this Sunday.

Hojlund has been sidelined with a back injury after his summer arrival at Old Trafford from Atalanta. The forward joined United in a deal worth £72million. Erik ten Hag recently suggested that Hojlund was ‘near’ returning to the pitch.

United have endured a toothless bite in their attack so far this season. They had scored just once in their opening games against Wolves and Tottenham. Their star man Marcus Rashford had continued to struggle in the central striker role.

Anthony Martial returned in the striking position against Nottingham Forest last Saturday. And Rashford setting up two goals enjoyed a better performance playing in his preferred left-wing position.

Hojlund though may not start on Sunday but his international call-up hints on his possible involvement.

Hjulmand, speaking on Tuesday upon announcing his squad, has suggested that will be the case, claiming he has spoken to Ten Hag about the 20-year-old’s game time,

According to Hjulmand: ‘I have some clear agreements with the club. He [Hojlund] should preferably get some minutes so that we can see that he’s there.

‘He lacks game time, that’s clear, but he’s going to play a role [for Denmark], so we’ll have to see what he can do.’
