Before signing for Manchester United, Rasmus Hojlund had missed just two games in his career due to injury. Hojlund was injury-free during his time with FC Copenhagen and Sturm Graz and picked up the first issue of his career - minor abductor pain - while representing Atalanta.

That is at least according to the medical records that are available, which could obviously omit any injuries Hojlund sustained during his time in Copenhagen's academy or elsewhere.

The available data suggests Hojlund rarely picked up injuries but he has sustained hamstring and muscle problems since signing for United.

The striker has now missed a total of 14 games through injury since moving to Old Trafford and fans are starting to question whether he is injury-prone.

"So I’ve had a period here [at United] where I’ve de-loaded a bit, and now I’m ready to give it full throttle again. “It was a small thing and I have never really been able to feel any pain myself at any time.
