- Ten Hag issues injury update
- Hojlund and Eriksen suffer injuries
- United beat Luton 1-0
WHAT HAPPENED? United bounced back from midweek Champions League disappointment with a 1-0 Premier League win against Luton. However, after the game Ten Hag confirmed that Hojlund and Eriksen are the latest United stars to pick up injuries.
WHAT THEY SAID: When asked what the issue was that forced Hojlund off late in the second half, Ten Hag said: "In this moment, I can’t tell anything about it because I don’t know. We do an assessment and we have to wait 24 hours for the conclusion. So we’ll give the medical team 24 hours to see what the problem is, if there is a problem."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ten Hag's side have been blighted by injuries this term, and midfielder Eriksen could be the next name on the injury list after he was withdrawn before half-time. "He slipped but it’s the same – we have to do the assessment, set the diagnosis, set the conclusion and then we’ll know where we are," the United manager said.
