Manchester United might have a forgotten man back in their squad vs Twente

Hojlund's return?

Rasmus Hojlund has not started a competitive game for United since May 6 as he was dropped for their final three fixtures of last season. He had an impact in all three, scoring against Newcastle and Brighton before helping United take the game away from City in the FA Cup final.

Since he returned from injury in March, Hojlund has been a better substitute than starter. He has scored once for club and country as the starting striker and he wasted some particularly good chances at the European Championship for Denmark.

An auspicious start to pre-season was abruptly halted when he sustained a hamstring injury four minutes after scoring against Arsenal in Los Angeles. This has been Hojlund's longest lay-off and he has a more credible competitor in Joshua Zirkzee now Anthony Martial is no longer part of the furniture.

Zirkzee only has one goal in six games, though. For all Hojlund's flaws, he is literally United's number nine and appears to be the more dynamic frontman.

Mount's chance?

A four-week lay-off is short for Mason Mount, given he missed four months at one point last season. He was unused at Crystal Palace, perhaps unwisely, given how counter-productive Bruno Fernandes was.

Mount had his best and most meaningful half for United before he withdrew at the pause against Brighton. He started the season as their No.10 and that remains his optimum role.

Another Ugarte start?

United's next Premier League games are at home to Tottenham and away to Aston Villa before the October internationals. So there is every chance a full league debut for Ugarte could be delayed until he returns from South
