Manchester United star Rasmus Hjølund has opened up about his weight, with the Denmark international revealing the reality of a long-term injury layoff.
The striker missed the start of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury during pre-season and the Red Devils star was forced to watch as the club struggled in the opening stages.
But after fighting back to get fit, Hojlund returned to action for United last month, but admitted his weight had changed during his time away from the team.
The 21-year-old is currently playing for Denmark in their latest Nations League games, away to Spain on Saturday and away to Switzerland on Tuesday.
However, Manchester United star Hujlund added that despite his return, he may not be ready to play 90 minutes against Spain.
Rasmus Hjølund admits about his weight after recovering from injury
Hoylund made his return to action for United last month after suffering a hamstring problem.
Hojland said he lost some weight after the injury, but added that he wasn’t really worried about it.
According to reports mirror“There’s no point in rushing things and risking another injury,” Hoylund said.
“My body feels better again. I might be ready to play 90 minutes, but I don’t think it would be a good idea to play 90 minutes against Spain on Saturday, considering I have to use my head a little bit. .
“I’ve lost a little weight, but that’s okay.” I know there are some benefits to being a little lighter, and benefits to being a little heavier. I don’t focus on the scale. I’ve gotten used to the fact that my weight fluctuates a bit. ”
Hoylund has made five appearances for United since returning from injury, scoring once, his goal coming against Porto in the Europa League.
Hoylund made 43 appearances for the Red Devils after joining from Atalanta in August 2023, scoring a total of 17 goals.
Hoylund admitted he lost weight as a result of his recovery from injury.
Given United’s current struggles, they will hope that Hojland can use the international break to further improve his sharpness.
United, who sit in 14th place in the Premier League, host Brentford in their first game after the international break.
