RASMUS HOJLUND is set to come to Manchester United’s rescue this weekend.
The Red Devils have recorded just one goal in the first two games and that from centre-back Raphael Varane.
But £72million striker Hojlund, on whom so much rests is now ready to start training with the full squad.
He has suffered a slight injury in pre-season training with his former club Atalanta.
That left him out of the opening games which saw United luckily edge past Wolves 1-0 and lose away at Tottenham 2-0.
Now Man Utd are hopeful he will be fit enough to be on the bench for Saturday’s 3pm kick-off against Nottingham Forest.
There are high hopes for the 20-year-old who has been described by manager Erik ten Hag as a “unique striker”.
This after having scored only nine goals in his one season in Serie A.
United played a behind closed doors friendly with Burnley on Wednesday afternoon but Hojlund is understood not to have been involved.
When Rasmus joined the club, he said: “It is no secret that I have been a fan of this great club since I was a small boy.
