Manchester United’s striker Rasmus Hojlund is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks due to a muscle injury potentially ruling him out for crucial matches including the Manchester derby on March 3. Hojlund has been in top form becoming the youngest player in Premier League history to score in six consecutive games.

This injury adds to United’s challenges with Anthony Martial also unavailable. Manager Erik ten Hag remains confident in his attacking options citing the strong performances of players like Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.

Despite setbacks, Ten Hag believes the team’s frontline remains a significant threat. United faces a series of important fixtures as they vie for Champions League qualification.
