With his injury in preseason I guess he will have a season much like last season.

 

[Vault Dweller]

I'm worried about how much he gets injured.

 

[Vidooq]

They will need to figure out a way to manage him, or maybe have him doing yoga. Second hamstring injury since he's been with us, and third muscle since he signed. I'm getting worried now.

 

[Beachryan]

He's a pretty massive lad, who runs his socks off. He probably just needs to calm down a bit tbh.

 

[Andycoleno9]

He is too much injured for my taste. 2 hamstring injuries, muscle injury and back injury in 12 month.
Also, as last season showed, he is struggling to last 90 minutes on the pitch.

Now, is it him or our training regime, that is big question.

Yet he played pretty much every game for Denmark in the Euros without any issues.

 

[Leftback99]

He really needed a good preseason. Likely another stop start season for him. Too injury prone.

If Zirkzee makes a decent start he might struggle to get back in. Although I expect we're going to start the season with Bruno at 9.

We all want him fit, but you can’t know if he’s injury prone or just unlucky yet. Really need another year or two to tell

 

[MDFC Manager]

Probably not seriously injured

He comes across as a bit of a goofball (and I mean that in the most endearing sense.) Hopefully, he gets a good, injury-free run once he recovers from this.

For me, the unavailability is only my 2nd worry.

My biggest concern is regular injuries will take away his biggest physical attribute, his pace. Not that I think he'll be slow overnight, but maintaining the electric pace is important if he's ever to become a top player.

We've seen how lethargic Rashford looks these days compared to his younger days, so many injuries have caught up with him. I feel like we've been unlucky over the years with players losing their top speed at an age where they should still be at their peak.

Any update?

If you remember Giggs was the same at that age. Players with pace will always be prone to hamstring pulls. Some of the rest are down to his body size. He’s a big lad with pace. He may pick up more niggling injuries when he’s young.

 

[LordSpud]

Need another striker. I personally don't think we can trust Rasmus not to be injured

 

[IrishRedDevil]

He’s training.

 

[BuzzKillington]

He’s training.

I just hope they don’t rush him back. I’d rather not see him for a couple of weeks, and have him back for the season.

 

[Sandikan]

2 weeks of proper training over the international break hopefully brings him closer.
But like others we shouldn't even dream of bringing him back until past even the slightest risk point.

 

[Davìd Moyéz]

Anyone else think it's a bit weird that we've posted 6 different tweets within an hour or so just to tell us Rasmus is nearly back? He's only missed 3 games.

 

[Vidooq]

Beautiful.

 

[Adamsk7]

Looks like the next game is the last he’ll miss so that’s better than expected. Nearly two weeks to train at carrington during the international break too. Nice

Hopefully. That'd be good to have him back in time for the cups kicking in and more games.

 

[Fahad Jawaid]

Please tell me he's not part of Danish squad. Hate when players who are barely fit are called up anyway with the risk of aggravating the injury.

 

[Shinjch]

He should be able to get himself back to fitness during the international break, really needs to start showing that he can be trusted to stay fit and lead the line now.

 

[Schmeichels pinky]

he’s not

 

[Vidooq]

Will he be involved in some capacity v Saints?

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

Will he be involved in some capacity v Saints?

It was supposed to be 6 weeks since the preseason friendly vs Arsenal which was on 28 July, 6 weeks has passed already let's hope he is back by now, we need him upfront

 

[Ali Dia]

Will he be involved in some capacity v Saints?

Zirkzee will probably be given another start or two to try and find form and confidence with Rasmus coming on for him or Rashford or even Bruno if he keeps going the way he is. There’ll be plenty of minutes, I hope he’s eased back in and he hits a few more goals this season, that’s all we can ask. I fancy him to do really well in the EL and that will almost certainly bump his numbers up past last years tally

 

[croadyman]

Disappointed he's not involved tomorrow, seen something on another Utd forum about Erik saying he has osteogenesis imperfecta but that's gotta be BS

Must be, that's brittle bone disease. There's no way that Rasmus has that surely to goodness!

 

[Donut]

Starting to worry he’s a bit injury prone. This is the season where he has to show us he can be our future #9… Otherwise we have to try and get Sesko or Osimhen.

He’s not been out injured that much. When he joined he was nursing a back injury. Played a bunch, had a small injury that interrupted his scoring run and now this is an injury he got during pre season.

A hamstring injury, at that. Unsurprising considering the intensity he was running at during the match.

 

[croadyman]

Still would like to see us sign one of them anyway

Is Osimhen still a thing?

 

[Owen Hargo]

this is taking longer than it should

 

[Marwood]

I'd say that's quite a lot.

 

[RuudTom83]

Two words United fans are been burnt badly with over the last few years...debt and injuries.

Both are now words we dread and fear the worst...but in this case the squad is covered and Hojlund doesn't need to be rushed back.

It could be another sign of change from last season(?) with players not being rushed back due to a complete lack of alternatives.

3 hamstring/muscle injuries in 12 months is a lot. And could (i hope not) show a pattern for future.

I think it's definitely this. We seem to be approaching things in a much more cautious way (e.g. three defenders substituted on Saturday with 'injuries' who ended up being absolutely fine) than last season which is promising, even if it can feel frustrating.

Zirkzee has started reasonably well, despite his finishing letting him down, so we can just allow Hojlund to get as fit as possible before taking the plunge. Which, as you say, is a welcome difference to last year where we were constantly forced to rely on the same players for every match.

 

[Shinjch]

Really interested to see if our level of chance creation stays at the same level with him in the team - hope he gets back soon so we can get a feel for that.
