Rasmus Hojlund fit to start vs Arsenal as Sergio Reguilon completes loan transfer from Tottenham and trains on Friday
NEW SIGNING RASMUS HOJLUND is available to start Manchester United’s match against Arsenal this Sunday.
The £72million striker has trained all week with his new teammates and impressed Ten Hag.
And he could be joined in the starting line up by Sergio Reguilon who passed his medical last night and trained with his new teammates today after making his loan move official.
Reguilon, 26, joined Spurs from Real Madrid in 2020 and made 52 appearances but spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid
United boss Erik ten Hag said: “He is very experienced player. He has played for big clubs, played a lot of games in La Liga and the Premier League so he has a very good background.
“He can play very intense football so we are happy.
“We had a problem with Luke Shaw injured and Tyrell Malacia injured so we have covered that very well in an emergency situation.”
United will be without Luke Shaw for an extended period of the season after he picked up a nasty muscular injury.
Reguilon’s arrival will give the Red Devils a boost as they add some much needed defensive reinforcements.
Speaking to the official Manchester United website, the 26-year-old said: “In life you have to be ready for everything and the chance to represent this great club with such an illustrious history is one that I could not turn down.

“Having spoken to the manager, I know what he needs from me, and I am ready to play my part in helping the team to achieve success.
“I know that I can contribute to Manchester United this season; I am ready to fight for this group and show everyone my qualities.”
Jonny Evans is also reportedly set to sign a one-year deal at Old Trafford after training with the club throughout pre-season.
Man Utd will be buoyed by their new signings and the return of Rasmus Hojlund before what is bound to be a tough test against Arsenal on Sunday.
They travel to the Emirates to face an Arsenal side who will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing 2-2 draw with Fulham last weekend.
