Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag is set to unleash new £72m striker Rasmus Hojlund on the Premier League in Saturday’s 4pm clash with Nottingham Forest.
The 20-year-old Denmark hitman has yet to feature for the Red Devils this season due to a back injury, which United have been managing.
Ten Hag has been wary of aggravating the problem, but with his span sukkelling for goals after a 1-0 win over Wolves in their opening match and a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, the Dutchman is ready to throw the Dane into the mix at Old Trafford.

Down in 12th place in the standings with a goal difference of minus one, they face a 10th-placed Forest side level on three points but boosted by the midweek signing of Argentina leftback Gonzalo Montiel on an initial season-long deal from Europa League champions Sevilla.

United, who were beaten 3-0 in a closed-doors midweek friendly on Wednesday, are looking to stretch their 30-match unbeaten run at Old Trafford.
