admin Erik Ten Hag has confirmed Manchester United’s signing Rasmus Hojlund could make his debut for the club against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
Although Hojlund, 20, signed for Atalanta for a fee of £72million (Sky Sports) earlier this summer, he is yet to make his debut in the competition with a stress fracture in his back a lesion discovered during treatment (MEN).
But after being forced to watch his new team-mates from the touchline in the first three games of the new Premier League season, he is finally ready for his first game.
The Denmark international’s preparation could not have come at the best of times for Ten Hag as they prepare for title challengers Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
“So we had a good training week and tomorrow we have the last training session,” the Dutchman told reporters on Friday, as reported by talkSPORT.
“He is doing well so he will be available. I think he is ready to start.”
Travelling to play Mikel Arteta’s Gunners, the Red Devils, who have already suffered one defeat (2-0 vs. Tottenham), will be desperate to take something away from the country’s capital, and Hojlund’s availability will certainly boost the club’s chances.
Sunday afternoon’s featured game, which is set to kick off at 4.30 p.m. (UK time), will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
