Rasmus Hojlund faces a late fitness test to be fit in time for Man United’s trip to Everton but Erik ten Hag might be minded to play it safe.
It is fairly damning of Manchester United’s other attackers that supporters are worried about Rasmus Hojlund’s fitness for Sunday’s trip to Everton, a striker who has yet to score in the Premier League.
After being pulled out in the 1-0 win over Luton Town at home, Hojlund and Danish colleague Christian Eriksen were forced to withdraw from international action during the break. The former limped off the Old Trafford field clutching his hamstring, leaving matchgoers with an unpleasant taste.sdale ahead of Arsenal’s return to the starting lineup

United, which is notorious for being cryptic when disclosing injury news to the public, sensed the animosity and broke with precedent by actually providing some detail. Hojlund will miss the international break but should return before the end of the month.
Erik ten Hag emphasized the topic again on Thursday evening, providing an update on the Danish duo. Eriksen’s problem is more long-term, but Hojlund is in a race to be ready for this weekend.
“We are not in a rush,” Ten Hag insisted in August when asked about Hojlund’s potential debut, following the flagging of a back injury during medical tests. “We know we have also without him a strong team and the position is covered, so we don’t rush this.
“It’s about that he’s in the right level. First from the first fitness level and then we have to integrate him, training and then we will bring him in the games, so we take our time.
