Rasmus Hojlund has been ruled out of the season opener against Wolves and possibly Tottenham according to reports
The Sun reports that he is working out but that it will take him at least a fortnight to reach match fitness.
The Danish forward becomes United's third summer signing, following Mason Mount and Andre Onana’s arrival.
Rasmus Hojlund scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for Atalanta last season which attracted the interest of Man United.
He commented as quoted by the Sun following his unveiling by the Red Devils, "It is no secret that I have been a fan of this great club since I was a small boy, and I dreamed of walking out at Old Trafford as a Manchester United player.
"I am incredibly excited by this opportunity to turn that dream into a reality, and I am determined to repay the faith that the club has shown in me.
"It is still early in my career, but I know that I am ready to make this step up and play with this group of world-class players."
