Why Rasmus Hojlund missed Man Utd's defeat vs Nottingham Forest
Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund was missing from the matchday squad against Nottingham Forest today due to illness.
The Dane recently ended his Premier League goalscoring drought. He scored his maiden goal in the 3-2 comeback win over Aston Villa.
It was anticipated that the 20-year-old would lead the line again this weekend, but it was not the case after he was ruled out with an illness.
In his absence, Marcus Rashford lead the attack and scored in the second half, but Forest went on to beat the Red Devils by a 2-1 scoreline.
The defeat is a bitter blow for United who had the opportunity to jump into the top six with a win. They are now in danger of dropping down.
Should Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United win their respective games, United could find themselves ninth when the gameweek ends.
This is bound to raise the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag. His job is not at risk, but the next game against Tottenham is a must win now.
