But Erik Ten Hag revealed that the Denmark international is fit and available for the match against Liverpool. Along with Hojlund, defenders Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan Bissaka have also returned and trained with the squad. "We had a good week. All the players you mentioned [Maguire, Wan-Bissaka and Hojlund], they returned on the pitch. Partly in the start of the week and, today, we had a session that they were all training," Ten Hag said in the press conference. As for Liverpool, Mo Salah made his return with the match against Sparta Praha. He is likely to play from the start for Liverpool. Unfortunately, Ibrahim Konate picked up another fresh injury and will miss tomorrow's match. Liverpool will miss the service of Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota, Ben Doak, Joel Matip, Alisson Becker, Curtis Jones, and Trent Alexander-Arnold due to their respective injury.

Prediction: Man United 1-2 Liverpool

As the home team, Manchester United should be the favorite against Liverpool in this match. But they have been very inconsistent throughout the season. However, the return of Rasmus Hojlund could be a decisive factor for the Red Devils. Meanwhile, Liverpool are in a brilliant form. Even without Mohammad Salah, they did an amazing job in the league. With Salah back, they should be able to beat Man United more easily.
