Amorim ready to drop first-team star vs Fulham despite full week in training

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim can double down on his ruthless selection approach.

Amorim dropped Rasmus Hojlund from the opening matchday squad against Arsenal last weekend.

According to the reliable X Account Sully Talkz, Hojlund trained with the United first team this entire week but is still not going to be in the squad that faces Fulham today.

The Red Devils will travel to Craven Cottage today to battle with Fulham, with the hope of registering their first win of the 2025-26 campaign.

Hojlund faces an uncertain future and could leave United in the next few days.

Amorim has informally placed him in the ‘bomb squad’ following the signing of striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.

Hojlund has shown a good attitude despite being brutally axed from the squad.

He netted only four Premier League goals last season, disappointing the club hierarchy and the supporters.

It would be better for the Denmark international to revive his career away from the Old Trafford spotlight.

AC Milan, Napoli, Newcastle United and Atalanta have been linked with a summer swoop.

The Red Devils are ready to permanently part ways with the 22-year-old but are open to letting him leave on loan under the right conditions.

A muscle injury to Romelu Lukaku has forced Napoli to look for a new centre-forward in the market.

They are open to signing Hojlund on loan with an obligation to buy next summer.

If Hojlund remains at Old Trafford, he may find game time only in cup games.

Joshua Zirkzee and Chido Obi are ready to provide cover for Sesko.
