New Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund could miss the first few weeks of the season through injury.
Hojlund, 20, was unveiled by United at Old Trafford prior to kick-off in their penultimate pre-season friendly against Lens.
Sources say Hojlund sustained a "small issue" during pre-season training with Atalanta and he is not ready to play.
United believe it could take a few weeks for Hojlund to reach match fitness and he will not be rushed in his recovery.
