Hojlund blow need not throw season off course, says ten Hag

It is a significant blow given Hojlund's electric form of late

Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund reacts following the Carabao Cup fourth round match at Old Trafford.

 Erik ten Hag insisted Rasmus Hojlund's injury need not throw Manchester United's season off course as the club's failure to sign another striker in January once again came under the spotlight.

Hojlund will miss Saturday's match against Fulham and the midweek FA Cup tie at Nottingham Forest, and is also expected to be out for next Sunday's derby against Manchester City with a muscle injury that could see him sidelined for up to three weeks and potentially miss five games.
