The Danish striker put on his shoes to practice for the first time in a new team shirt

Hojlund had his first training session at Carrington Training Center. However, he had to practice on his own.

Accordingly, Hojlund suffered a slight injury during pre-season preparations with Atalanta.

The Danish player is not ready to play at this time. Hojlund is training as usual, but it will take “several weeks” to reach his peak fitness.

Therefore, in this training session, Hojlund mainly practiced light.

Man Utd will not be able to have Hojlund’s services when facing Wolves at dawn on August 15 in the opening match of the Premier League 2023/24.

According to British media, the 20-year-old striker can reappear in the match against Arsenal on September 3, which means sitting out for about a month.

Man Utd also do not want to risk Hojlund. They determined to give this player more time to adjust to the new environment.

The Red Devils limit the pressure on Hojlund’s shoulder and only use it when this player is really at his best.

Hojlund joins the Manchester club on a contract until June 2028, with the option to extend for a further year. This deal costs Man Utd not a small amount, up to 85 million euros including surcharges.

At the age of 20, the striker has scored 27 goals in 87 club appearances, including 10 in Italy for Atalanta last season. As an international player, Hojlund also managed to score 6 goals in 6 appearances for Denmark
