Erik Ten Hag Gives Update On Christian Eriksen, Rasmus Højlund
Ten Hag when asked about the progress of the two Danish duo said Eriksen needs more time before he will be ready to return as club’s previous statement last week confirmed he will be out for around one month. While Rasmus Højlund is expected to return by the end of November.
The Denmark duo missed out international break matches for their country due to injuries they sustained in Manchester United’s last match against the newly promoted side Luton Town at Old Trafford where United beat them 1-0.

Eriksen sustained a knee injury and got substituted at halftime while Hojlund was off after a muscle strain in the last minutes against Luton Town.
Speaking to the Premier League, Erik ten Hag said “Christian will take a little bit longer,” Erik ten Hag told the Premier League. “It will take some weeks until he will return.
“Rasmus Hojlund, not too bad. Everton will be a close finish but we’re working on that.
“We’re not sure if he can make that but, hopefully, in the next week, he will return to the squad.”

It will be hoped that Højlund can travel with the squad to Istanbul next Tuesday for Galatasaray return leg and not just because he has five goals already in the UEFA Champions League.
Manchester United will be without Marcus Rashford for the Galatasaray contest, which is like a MUST-WIN fixture for United, following Rashford’s controversial red card against FC Copenhagen in the competition.
