Rasmus Hojlund could make his Manchester United debut against Arsenal according to Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand.<\/p>\n

Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

The striker has been named in the Denmark squad for the September internationals, suggesting he is fit to play some part in United\u2019s clash against the Gunners this Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils signed Hojlund from Atalanta this summer in a deal worth \u00a372million but has been stuck on the sidelines with a back injury, with Erik ten Hag recently saying he was \u2018near\u2019 returning to the pitch.<\/p>\n

Though many do not expect him to hit the ground running, the presence of a natural centre-forward will greatly improve United\u2019s attack that has looked toothless without one.<\/p>\n

They scored just once in their opening games against Wolves and Tottenham, with Marcus Rashford struggling in the central striker role.<\/p>\n

The return of Anthony Martial, with Rashford playing in his preferred left-wing position, was a great help in the 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest last Saturday, with the England star setting up two goals.<\/p>\n

It is highly unlikely that Hojlund will start at the Emirates but his international call-up hints he should be okay to come off the bench in needed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And Hjulmand, speaking on Tuesday upon announcing his squad, has suggested that will be the case, claiming he has spoken to Ten Hag about the 20-year-old\u2019s game time,<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018I have some clear agreements with the club. He [Hojlund] should preferably get some minutes so that we can see that he\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

\u2018He lacks game time, that\u2019s clear, but he\u2019s going to play a role [for Denmark], so we\u2019ll have to see what he can do.\u2019<\/p>\n

Next month, Denmark take on San Marino and Finland in crucial Euro 2024 qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Hojlund is joined in the Danish team by United teammate Christian Eriksen as well as Tottenham\u2019s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who has been linked with a shock move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Other Premier League stars called up include Crystal Palace\u2019s Joachim Andersen and Brentford trio Christian Norgaard, Mathias Jensen and Mikkel Damsgaard.<\/p>\n
