Man UTD manager Erig Ten Hag broke down in tears after Key Manchester United player who is undropable for Manchester United has been injured in training this afternoon.
Due to an injury, Rasmus Hojlund will be out of commission for the next two to three weeks for Manchester United.
The unfortunate news was made public by the club before to Erik ten Hag’s scheduled press conference for the next hour.
Erik ten Hag will be left without a senior striker in his squad after this crushing blow, in a season already beset by unparalleled injury issues.
Hojlund apparently tore a muscle during training.
He won’t be available for Wednesday’s FA Cup match against Nottingham Forest and tomorrow’s home match versus Fulham.
Next Sunday is the Manchester derby, while the following weekend is a home match versus Everton.
Hojlund’s final game before the international break is a home encounter against Sheffield United on March 16.
The young Dane, who has been unstoppable for United during their unbeaten run in 2024, and who has scored seven goals in his past six games, will be devastated by the news.
About three weeks remain in Anthony Martial’s 10-week absence, the only other striker in the senior squad.
With Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw already sidelined for multiple weeks, along with the continued absence of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Tyrell Malacia, and Mason Mount, Ten Hag will likely struggle to assemble a matchday squad of twenty healthy senior players for the pivotal weeks ahead.
One of the first tasks for INEOS, the new part-owners who will take over the football operations at Old Trafford, will undoubtedly be to hold an inquiry into the state of the fitness and medical departments. The injuries are coming in thick and fast, and what at first seemed to be a hangover from playing too many games the previous season now seems to be something more ingrained.
