Manchester United hope to have Rasmus Hojlund available for the first time when Nottingham Forest come to town this weekend.
Reports suggest the £72million striker is nearing full fitness after joining the club with a back injury, which has so far delayed his debut.
However, Erik ten Hag may choose not to risk Hojlund from the start even if he is injury free, and despite his side’s struggles in front of goal this season.
Anthony Martial is an option to start up front in an effort to freshen up the Red Devils’ ailing attack after playing in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Burnley in midweek. Alternatively, Jadon Sancho could start in the false nine role witnessed during pre-season.
Predicted Man Utd XI: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
Injuries: Mount, Mainoo, Amad, Malacia
Doubts: Hojlund, Maguire, Heaton
Time and date: 3pm BST, Saturday August 26, 2023
Venue: Old Trafford
