Having only just been introduced to the Old Trafford faithful, it was likely a shock for Man United fans to find out that new signing, Rasmus Hojlund, wouldn’t be available for a few weeks.
It’s believed that a minor injury whilst with Atalanta was the cause and United were perfectly aware when conducting the medical to sign the 20-year-old.
However, something more serious has come to light, and it casts doubt on the decision making at the club.
According to the Daily Mail, Hojlund had to undergo an MRI scan as part of the medical process, and a stress response hotspot in his back was detected.
That’s believed to be the start of stress fractures in younger players, and if not treated quickly and properly, it could see that the Dane misses months rather than weeks of the 2023/24 campaign.
The question surely has to be asked whether United were that desperate for a striker, they were willing to buy one that definitely can’t play in the first few games and, most likely, will have to miss a few more because of this latest news.
It’s an unfortunate development for both the club and the player himself, who will surely be wanting to get started as soon as possible at his new club.
All United and Erik ten Hag can hope for at this point is that the treatment for the injury calms it down and that Hojlund is well enough to play for the club sooner rather than later.
Why buy somebody at £70 when he carries an injury.
There is some clowns behind the scenes at united thought we got rid of Woodward then an other comes along it was simple sign kane and you get your money back on shirts we need to get someone in who nos football
This boy is good and has a bright future,let’s give him time.we just need greenwood to be back to
Yes.
Please bring Greenwood back
This boy is good and has a bright future,let’s give him time.we just need greenwood to be back to
We could have gotten Ramos from benfica for the same price and Man U decided to go for an injured youngster, what a shame now PSG got Ramos a proven striker and we went for an unproven striker with injury
The board at Man U needs a total cleansing and a change of ownership 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
This guy may surpass the expectations of many pundits and rival fans but the fear is whether he is ready for boos from fans and also critics from pundits and former united players
This Manchester United are not ever ever wanting to be serious take a look at arsenal ,man city , Liverpool they all prepared for the season with a netbusers …why do we Manchester United fan always receive this bad news on striker HØJLUND is too young to be in Manchester United
Yeah, you don’t win anything with kids, right?
I think the tipping point was Bruno recommending his countryman and being ignored. Ramos was a shoe-in with experience and charisma. Time will tell here but transfer record has not been up to past united standards. We seem to collect deadwood on a regular basis.
Manchester United are best known for incompetence, possessing premiership manners .
Medical team did what?. Fake medical team,😂😂 what a shame
I bet and hope this is fake or alarmist news. How could expert doctors conducting the test miss out the issue? What is the source of this so called stress hotpoint?
Let’s not forget Ferguson in his desparation went and bought a very injured player in Owen Hargreaves. Is ten Hag such a fool to do it while trying to build a team??
The boy is good and has abright future at old Trafford
Why are we spending all that money on an unproven sticker who is injured makes no Spence at all.
This is the last thing United need. All that money last season wasted on Antony , and now this. Ten hag is a great manager but this is a disaster .
Another 30k and Utd would have got Kane. Premier League proven and guaranteed 30+ goals plus massive shirt sales. No brainier. Someone at Utd needs to give their heads a shake.
Although we hadn’t bought him at the time, recall Fergies determination to wait on VanNistleroy recovering from a major injury and how inspirational he was once fit.
We united fan have serious problem of impetience,I gone through the comment section only few have sensible thing to say, why would someone recommend Kane when we know he will soon pass his prime. Let’s give rasmos ricovering time please.
I’m not worried about Hojlund cause he’s still young and he’ll recover soon …my problem is the unfairness by United towards Greenwood. Everyone makes mistakes and the lad is no exception. Reintegrate him now or loan him out immediately, BUT don’t sell him
