Ruben Amorim makes Rasmus Hojlund decision before Arsenal clash as flop's future ominous

Rasmus Hojlund’s omission from Manchester United’s squad against Arsenal may shift betting odds, favoring Arsenal as they’re likely to face a weakened United attack.

Rasmus Hojlund is reportedly set to be left out of Manchester United’s squad to face Arsenal. Hojlund faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford following the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to £73.7million.

The Denmark striker has been told he faces a challenge to get minutes under Ruben Amorim this season. According to The Athletic, Hojlund will not be part of the matchday squad to take on the Gunners in the Premier League opener on Sunday.

The 22-year-old has attracted interest from a number of European clubs, namely AC Milan and Leipzig, but he has so far remained insistent on staying at Old Trafford and fighting for his place. Hojlund was an unused substitute in United's final pre-season friendly last weekend against Fiorentina.

And Amorim did little to convince that the Dane was set to be a part of his plans this season as he avoided committing to the striker in his press conference on Friday. He said: "He’s one more option, we will see. We are focused on this game and Rasmus is still our player."
