\nManchester United’s injury curse has returned with a vengeance and it is set to impact Erik ten Hag’s team selection moving forward.<\/p>\n
Luke Shaw’s injury<\/a> means there is no specialist left-back at the club and the manager needs to trust academy starlet Harry Amass<\/a> in place of Victor Lindelof and Sofyan Amrabat.<\/p>\n An even bigger headache that the Dutchman has to solve now is to settle on an attacking triumvirate now that Rasmus Hojlund is set for a spell on the sidelines<\/a> for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n The Dane, who has been on fire recently, needs to be replaced but with Marcus Rashford struggling upfront, and Anthony Martial sidelined for three months<\/a>, the manager needs to take a major gamble.<\/p>\n This is exactly why the manager was desperate for attacking additions<\/a> in January but FFP constraints meant nothing was forthcoming.<\/p>\n Ten Hag had suggested he would have to be clever with his team selections in a bid to solve this issue and now, as per X account Academy Scoop<\/em>, he is about to throw Omari Forson into the deep end.<\/p>\n The academy graduate had come on in the game against Wolves as a striker and had assisted Kobbie Mainoo’s Fergie time winner.<\/a><\/p>\n While physically he might not be quite ready, he has the skills and technical prowess to flourish and Ten Hag feels the 19-year-old has a higher ceiling than Amad Diallo.<\/p>\n Exclusive: Omari Forson set to be handed his first Premier League start against Fulham tomorrow afternoon as a result of #MUFC<\/a>\u2019s ongoing injury crisis. This follows news of Rasmus H\u00f8jlund suffering a fitness setback forcing Ten Hag to reconsider attacking personnel. pic.twitter.com\/i9DZAkf0kH<\/a><\/p>\n — SCOOP.
