- Erik ten Hag refuses to accept any claim that Rasmus Hojlund’s injury will ruin Manchester United.
Hojlund will miss next week’s FA Cup match against Nottingham Forest due to a muscular issue, which might keep him out for up to three weeks and five games. Hojlund has seven goals in his past six appearances for the Red Devils, and his absence leaves Ten Hag with little options in attack.
“(Hojlund) was lately very important,” he was quoted as saying. “What about the main man? I do not see it that way. Because I believe that (Alejandro) Garnacho has been playing exceptionally well in recent games.
“Marcus Rashford (‘Rashy’) is capable. He can score. In our most recent games, the frontline has been a constant threat, scoring goals. Is it only Rasmus Hojlund? No, it’s Garnacho, Rashford, and Scott McTominay. Bruno (Fernandes) can score a goal.
What gives me the confidence, in autumn the frontline wasn’t scoring, they were not even a threat. In this moment they are in very good form and a threat continually. I am quite confident that even when Rasmus Hojlund is not there, it will go on.
We can line up a frontline which is really strong. I don’t think there is a frontline where the opponent thinks, ‘pfft, that is easy’. No, they will fear our frontline I am sure.”
