MU officially introduced a 20-year-old rookie at Old Trafford on Saturday (August 5), before a friendly win against Lens 2-1.
However, the fans of the Red Devils did not have time to be happy, then the bad news from Hojlund arrived: the Danish striker was injured earlier at Atalanta and needed a few weeks to be able to participate in the competition.Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that MU was aware of Hojlund’s situation before signing the contract. However, the results of the MRI examination appeared to be more worrisome than expected, revealing a stress response hotspot in the back, which can lead to a risk of fracture in young players.
In the immediate future, Hojlund will be absent from the first round of MU’s new Premier League season, meeting Wolves (August 15) and visiting Tottenham (23:30 on August 19). Even when this player is completely recovered, Erik ten Hag also limits continuous use to avoid the risk of bad things happening.
However, it seems that a bit of an initial setback did not affect the spirit of Rasmus Hojlund, who has been referred to as the ‘new Haaland’, full of speed and excellent stretch.The Danish striker is MU’s 3rd signing in this summer transfer, after Mason Mount and Andre OnanaThe MU rookie was spotted with his girlfriend Laura Sondergaard stepping out of the Lowry Hotel, walking around to explore Manchester City.
