Denmark announce squad for September FIFA World Cup qualifiers; Rasmus Hojlund included

Hojlund has not made his debut for Man United so far

Rasmus Hojlund’s selection into Denmark’s team for the September internationals has handed Manchester United a significant boost prior to their Premier League match against Arsenal on Sunday.

After suffering a stress-related injury in his lower back during a preseason workout with his previous team, Hojlund, who joined Old Trafford from Atalanta for £72 million earlier this summer, has yet to make an appearance for the Red Devils.

When Marcus Rashford was in charge of the attack for United against Wolves and Tottenham at the beginning of the season, they were ineffective.

Rashford, nevertheless, appeared back to his form as he created United’s opening goal and won the game-winning penalty in Saturday’s 3-2 victory at Old Trafford with Anthony Martial entrusted through in the centre against Nottingham Forest.

Like supporters, Erik ten Hag is anxious for target forward Hojlund to be well and ready as soon as possible, so the fact that he was included in the Denmark team is encouraging ahead of the match on Sunday at the Emirates.

Prior to the international break, Kasper Hjulmand, the head coach of Denmark, disclosed that his team and Manchester United have an understanding of Hojlund’s participation.
