Nightmare for Man Utd! Why Rasmus Hojlund set to miss Manchester City derby clash

Club Friendlies

Arsenal

Manchester United

On Friday afternoon, United released an update on their star striker's fitness, which read: "Rasmus Hojlund will miss Manchester United’s Premier League game against Fulham on Saturday due to a muscle injury. It is expected to keep him out for two to three weeks."

WHAT HAPPENED?

Assuming Hojlund does take three weeks to recover from the injury, not only would he miss this weekend's clash with the Cottagers, the Dane would also sit out of games against Nottingham Forest, Everton, Sheffield United and, most crucially, Manchester City. More to follow...

DID YOU KNOW?

With Hojlund set to be sidelined for a significant run of games, Ten Hag may turn to Marcus Rashford to play as a central striker. Anthony Martial - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/anthony-martial-man-utd-won-t-activate-renewal-option-injury-plagued-forward-surplus-to-requirements-erik-ten-hag/bltd82ae6984d759751" target="_blank">who is finally set to depart United in the summer</a> - would have been another option, but the Frenchman is struggling with an injury of his own at present.
