Manchester United’s plans have been dealt a blow with the news that their striker, Rasmus Hojlund, has sustained a muscle injury.This unfortunate development is expected to keep him out of action for an estimated two to three weeks. As a consequence, Hojlund is anticipated to be unavailable for selection in the upcoming Manchester derby against their rivals, Manchester City, which is scheduled for 3 March.##NAJAVA_MECA_7899440##Hojlund’s absence is particularly significant given his recent form in front of goal. The striker had been enjoying a purple patch, having scored in six consecutive Premier League matches prior to his injury setback. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by Manchester United as they prepare for a crucial fixture against their local rivals.The obvious alternative would be Anthony Martial, but he is also injured, so Marcus Rashford is likely to play as a central striker for Erik Ten Hag’s team when they face off against their “noisy neighbours”.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUESaturday18:00: (1.58) Aston Villa (4.10) Nott.Forest (5.70)18:00: (1.57) Man.Utd.
