Hojlund out for up to two to three weeks

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is facing a setback as a muscle injury is expected to sideline him for two to three weeks, ruling him out of the upcoming Manchester derby against Manchester City on March 3, a match broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Hojlund has been in exceptional form for United since the New Year, achieving the distinction of being the youngest player in the Premier League era to score in six consecutive games with 13goals for Manchester United in all competitions this term.

This injury poses a challenge for United boss Erik ten Hag, leaving Marcus Rashford as the sole option up front according to reports from Skysports.

Erik ten Hag is anticipated to address the media shortly, where he is likely to field questions about Hojlund’s injury and the impact on the team.
