Manchester United fans share worrying Rasmus Hojlund theory after training pictures emerge

Manchester United supporters fear Rasmus Hojlund will not be ready in time to make his debut against Arsenal on Sunday.

The £72m signing was not snapped during Tuesday’s training session, although the possibility remains that he could have trained away from the cameras. Hojlund is yet to play having arrived at Old Trafford with a back injury.

However, Denmark have still called him up for next month’s internationals with head coach Kasper Hjulmand confident the 20-year-old is nearing a return to action. United have struggled in front of goal at times during their first three matches of the season.

They edged past a wasteful Wolves in their opening game before losing 2-0 to Tottenham. United did score three in their comeback win over Nottingham Forest but all of the goals came from midfielders.

Marcus Rashford has largely been unable to have the same impact he had during last season’s 30-goal campaign. Anthony Martial has returned to action but is still working his way back up to full fitness.

United fans are desperate to see Hojlund take his bow, although many suspect he will take time to bed into English football.

It was hoped that the visit to the Emirates would give him his first taste of the Premier League. However, Reds fans on social media are now worried that they may have to wait until after the international break to see him in club colours after failing to see pictures of him in United training this week.
