Here are your Wednesday morning Manchester United headlines.
Hojlund update
Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand has suggested Rasmus Hojlund will be fit to face Arsenal this weekend after naming the striker in his squad for the upcoming international matches.
Hojlund is yet to feature for Manchester United after arriving in a £72million deal from Atalanta earlier this month. The 20-year-old was paraded around Old Trafford ahead of the friendly against RC Lens but a small back issue picked up during medical tests forced his debut to be put on hold.
The young striker returned to full training at Carrington last week and has been deemed fit enough to join his compatriots for two Euro 2024 qualifiers against San Marino and Finland at the start of next month. His involvement suggests a return to play is imminent and Hjulmand has suggested it could be as early as this week.

"I’ve been in Manchester to watch Rasmus train and he’s in full gear, so he’ll probably be in the squad for the weekend," Hjulmand told reporters after the national team squad was announced. "There is of course a caveat, and he must show that he is ready this week."

The right-back was regularly picked over Diogo Dalot by the business end of last term and he's started in every Premier League match so far in the 2023/24 campaign, further cementing himself as the first choice in his position.
Wan-Bissaka has earned praise for his renaissance and the attacking side of his game has particularly improved, something which he believes is partly down to the influence of Erik ten Hag, as he recently told club media.
