Manchester United latest statement on Hojlund
Hojlund is out with a back injury which showed up during his medical. This means he won’t make his debut against Wolves on Monday.
The club explained via official channels: “That issue is expected to keep him out for a few weeks, but the club is managing his recovery with an individual programme.
“Part of that involved Rasmus working out on the grass at our training ground today and he is recovering well.”
Manchester United spent £64 million to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta, making him the club’s sixth most expensive player of all time.
Manager Erik ten Hag is quoted by the club discussing Hojlund’s fitness. He commented: “It’s difficult to say how that process will go, but I think he’s making good progress at this moment.
“We have to see day by day how the progress will go.”
