Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has scored 26 goals for the club

Rasmus Hojlund is set to be left out of the Manchester United squad for Sunday's Premier League game with Arsenal at Old Trafford.

It is understood coach Ruben Amorim has taken the decision amid intense speculation over the 22-year-old's future.

While the Denmark striker has previously expressed a strong desire to remain at United, the arrival of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for £73.7m means his opportunities are likely to be severely restricted.

Amorim left him on the bench for the final pre-season friendly against Fiorentina on 9 August, even though Sesko's only involvement was to be paraded before kick-off as Mason Mount occupied a false nine slot.
