According to information from the Daily Mail, Manchester United has discovered a back injury in Rasmus Hojlund (20 years old), who was signed for 75 million euros by the Red Devils this summer.
Sought after by PSG, Chelsea, Juventus, and even Inter Milan, the young Danish prodigy Rasmus Hojlund ultimately chose to join Manchester United this summer. The Red Devils spent 75 million euros to beat the competition and secure their new attacking star. However, Manchester United fans will have to be patient before seeing their rising talent in action.
Indeed, according to the Daily Mail, the Manchester United medical staff identified a back injury during Hojlund’s medical examination last week. This injury seems to be stress-related and will result in his absence from the team’s initial matches to prevent exacerbating this vulnerable area and potentially causing a fracture.
As per the same source, the Danish player’s non-participation has already been confirmed for the first two Premier League matches of the season: first against Wolverhampton on Monday, and then against Tottenham on August 19th. Manchester United had not concealed a minor setback regarding their most expensive summer acquisition. The club had explained that the player would need a few weeks to regain his top form due to a slight discomfort suffered during training, without providing further details.
