Denmark coach drops exciting Rasmus Hojlund fitness update for Manchester United ahead of Arsenal clash
manchestereveningnews.co.ukDenmark manager Kasper Hjulmand has suggested Rasmus Hojlund will be fit to face Arsenal this weekend after naming the striker in his squad for the upcoming international matches.
Hojlund is yet to feature for Manchester United after arriving in a £72million deal from Atalanta earlier this month. The 20-year-old was paraded around Old Trafford ahead of the friendly against RC Lens but a small back issue picked up during medical tests forced his debut to be put on hold.
