Rasmus Hojlund, a summer signing for Manchester United, might play in his first game for the team this weekend.

The Red Devils will host Nottingham Forest in their third Premier League game of the year, which will be broadcast live on talkSPORT.

In their first two games, which saw them defeat Tottenham 2-0 and defeat Wolves 1-0, United had only scored once.

The attacking potential on Erik ten Hag’s team is deep, but Raphael Varane, a defender, is the only one to have scored so far.

Hojlund moved to Old Trafford earlier this summer in a £72 million deal from Atalanta, although he has not yet appeared for the team.

He has been recovering from a back ailment he sustained during preseason with his former team, but he might play on Saturday.

According to The Sun, United are optimistic that he will at least start on the bench when Forest visits in the Premier League.

Although Marcus Rashford had a 30-goal season last year and spent the majority of the season on the wing, Ten Hag has chosen to start him up front against Wolves and Spurs thus far.

Such a decision hasn’t succeeded, as Anthony Martial only saw the bench for five minutes total throughout the two games.

The hope of United supporters is that Hojlund can help the team’s scoring problems this year.

The 20-year-old scored six goals for Sturm Graz in 2022 before scoring ten goals in 34 games for Atalanta last season. Hojlund might play for the first time for United on Saturday, but their general preparation could use some work.According to reports, on Wednesday at Carrington, they were defeated 3-0 by Burnley in a friendly game played behind closed doors.United, which is currently in 12th place in the Premier League, will be hoping to get the critical three points against Forest at home.
