manchester united have suffered a heavy blow ahead of the clash against Fulham, as Rasmus Hojlund He has suffered a new injury and will remain sidelined for the next few weeks.
The Red Devils endured a terrible first half of this season and it has been suggested that United's downfall was largely due to their injury problems, as they were without several key first-team players.
casemiro, Lisandro Martínez, Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo were sidelined for several months during the first half of this campaign. But Man Utd's performance began to improve after the return of those players.
They even managed to move up the league standings and are currently in the race to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season.

Along with them, Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have been sidelined by their respective problems in recent weeks. But the new addition to United's casualty list is Hojlund, who has suffered a muscle injury and will remain out of action for about three weeks.
So, as a result of his problem, the Dane is not in the competition to play against Fulham tomorrow and will also not be available for selection for next month's clash against city of manchester.
After moving to Old Trafford in a £72million deal last summer, the 21-year-old struggled to find his place in the first division. However, he was starting to improve of late, scoring seven goals and registering two assists in the last six league games. He has been United's leading scorer in recent games, so Hojlund's absence will be a hard blow for Erik ten Hagfrom the side.
So, amid the absence of Hojlund and Martial, United will be left without a senior centre-forward in the coming games. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how the Ten Hag team can deal with this situation.
