New Manchester United signing Rasmus Hojlund will not be available for selection until the September clash against Arsenal at the Emirates.
Rasmus Hojlund will be unavailable for Manchester United for a few weeks after arriving from Atalanta with a minor back issue.
The 20-year-old, who arrived for a fee of €75m plus €10m in add-ons, is on an individual training programme and the Manchester United medical staff are optimistic of his return in early September.
Hojlund to make Man United debut against Arsenal
Hojlund is currently expected to miss the Red Devils' season opener against Wolves at Old Trafford, as well as the away game at Tottenham.
He will also be unavailable for the match against Nottingham Forest the following weekend.
Even though United are cautious due to the naure of back problems, Erik ten Hag is optimistic.
He said “It is difficult to say how that process will go, but I think he is making good progress in this moment, then we have to see day by day.
"Then we will have to follow up.”
