United take on fierce rivals Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday and will be looking to finish the first part of the season before the international break on a positive note. Though they have six points on the board, Erik ten Hag&aposs side have underwhelmed in their opening matches.
Things haven&apost been helped by a growing injury list that has seen several key players ruled out of action but United have at least been boosted by some fresh faces ahead of facing the Gunners. Hojlund is in the squad for the first time since his 72m transfer from Atalanta this summer as he was spotted with the team as they caught the train to London on Saturday afternoon.
The striker arrived at Old Trafford with a back injury so has been unable to feature and United have struggled going forward without a focal point. Ten Hag confirmed the Dane is fit enough to start and he could make his debut on Sunday.
“Yes, he&aposs had a good training week. Tomorrow we will have a final training session but he&aposs doing well, he&aposs responding well,” the manager said. “So, yeah, he&aposll be available for Sunday&aposs game. I think he&aposs ready to start.”
Fellow new signings Reguilon, Altay Bayindir and Jonny Evans have also made the trip. The trio arrived on deadline day and were signed in time to be involved in North London but that isn&apost the case for midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
Reguilon was signed on loan for the season from Tottenham following injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. Goalkeeper Bayindir was signed for 5m from Fenerbahce to facilitate Dean Henderson&aposs exit and Jonny Evans has returned to the club on a one-year deal after featuring in pre-season.
