The £72m arrival from Atalanta was the man to bring to an end the Red Devils boss' summer-long search for a striker. However, he has yet to make his debut for United and that will not come against Forest on Saturday afternoon. The Dane has been recovering with a back issue throughout the opening few weeks of the campaign and has yet to take part in his first training session with his new club. In better news, however, Ten Hag revealed that Hojlund is not far away from a potential debut. Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's clash, he said: 'Today [Friday], for the first time, he came into team training. Next week we expect him to do a full week with all the team trainings. So he's very near to making the squad.' Whilst fans are looking forward to seeing Hojlund in action for the first time, Ten Hag does not believe that his absence has affected the Red Devils too much amid a tricky start to the new campaign. Asked if his side are lacking in attack, he replied: "No. We have seven front players and young talent coming up, as we've seen in pre-season, who are getting close [to the first team]. "Rasmus will be available from next week onwards. With Rasmus and Martial, we have cover. We have Rashford as well there. We have enough quality players to cover that position.'
