Man Utd suffers big loss after hard-fought victory over Luton

In the match against Luton in round 12 of the Premier League, Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund missed two good scoring opportunities to score his first goal in the Premier League before he had to leave the field at the end of the match.

In the 79th minute, the 20-year-old striker went down in a clash with the visiting defender and appeared to have suffered a hamstring injury before being replaced by Anthony Martial.

"I can't comment at the moment. He needs at least 24 hours to see what the problem is," coach Ten Hag said about Hojlund's injury after the match.

Not only Hojlund was injured, the Dutch strategist also felt worried for his squad when midfielder Christian Eriksen was also injured and left the field in the first half.

The Danish midfielder seemed to have problems from the start of the match. After a situation where he fell without contact with anyone near the end of the first half, Eriksen sat down. Despite his best efforts, the midfielder had to leave the field a few minutes later.

"I can only say that I hope Hojlund and Eriksen do not suffer serious injuries. For us, this season is really difficult because there are too many injuries. I still have many players in hand but I hope the players can return soon to serve the team," coach Ten Hag expressed his disappointment.

The 53-year-old's frustration is obvious when looking at Man Utd's injury list since the start of the season, with key players absent such as Casemiro, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.

Even centre-back Johnny Evans was ruled out of the game against Luton with a thigh injury sustained in the previous round.

Man Utd's 1-0 win over Luton temporarily moved the Old Trafford team up to 6th place in the table and is just one win away from the top 4 position currently held by Liverpool.
