Ten Hag discusses the possibility of Hojbjerg's return

Ten Hag was questioned about when the forward will return to first-team training and subsequently make his comeback in match action.

Hojlund, who was injured during United’s preseason tour of the USA, also struggled with injury issues throughout last season. 

Ten Hag told reporters: "After the break, but when after the break? We have to see how he develops, how he can progress, during the break to get match-fit.  

“He returned on the pitch, but it will take a while before he's up (to speed) because everyone has seen, it happens in the first game (of his pre-season).  

“So he needs to go up and to build some fitness.”
