Ten Hag reveals who will score goals for Manchester United in absence of Hojlund

Manchester United will have to be without striker Rasmus Hojlund for at least two weeks, after he sustained a muscle injury.

Rasmus Hojlund has been banging in the goals of late, and his performances have been top class.

The young Danish striker will be missed at Old Trafford, but Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United have players who can score goals in his absence.

“Garnacho is scoring a lot of goals – seven,” Ten Hag said.

“Rashy [Rashford] is capable, but he scores [only] five [so far].

“In our last games, the frontline is an absolute threat, they score [so] is it Rasmus Højlund only?

“No, it’s Garnacho, also Rashford, Scott McTominay. Bruno can score. What gives me the confidence is that in autumn the frontline wasn’t scoring, they were not even a threat.

“At this moment they are in very good form and a threat continually.

“[Hojlund] has lately been very important. But the main man? I don’t see it that way.”
