  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Hojlund, who is part of Amorim's 'bomb squad' at United, was left out of their matchday squads for their first two Premier League matches of the new season against Arsenal and Fulham, respectively. The Danish forward fell out of favour at Old Trafford this summer, which prompted him to consider a move away from the Red Devils.

  Speaking to reporters, the United boss said: "All the players are available. Then we will make the choice to try to get the best starting XI to win the game. We have three games this week. We have quality players and we have to rotate to try to win every game."
