Hojlund Hamstringed: Manchester United Striker Faces Injury Layoff

Manchester United’s in-form striker, Rasmus Hojlund, has been dealt a blow with a muscle injury that will sideline him for “two to three weeks,” the club announced on Friday.

This news throws a wrench into United’s plans, leaving them with limited options at the central forward position.

Hojlund, the Danish international, was on fire, netting seven goals and grabbing two assists in his last six Premier League appearances. His resurgence capped a long wait for his first domestic goal for the Red Devils, which finally came on Boxing Day.

The 21-year-old’s absence will be keenly felt, especially considering Anthony Martial’s ongoing injury woes. With no recognized center-forward currently available, manager Erik ten Hag faces a tactical headache.
