And he could be handed his first start for the Red Devils at the Emirates this weekend.

Speaking about Hojlund, Ten Hag said: "Yes (Hojlund will be available). He had a good training week so tomorrow we have the final training.

"But he is doing well, responding well, so, yeah, he will be available for Sunday’s game."

But the Danish attacker may not be the only Man Utd new boy lining up against Mikel Arteta's men.

Sergio Reguilon has arrived at Old Trafford on a season-long loan deal from Tottenham.

And, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both nursing fitness issues, he could start at left-back in 48 hours time.

Confirming the deal in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Ten Hag said: "He is very experienced player. He has played for big clubs, played a lot of games in La Liga and the Premier League so he has a very good background.

"He can play very intense football so we are happy.

"We had a problem with Luke Shaw injured and Tyrell Malacia injured so we have covered that very well in an emergency situation."

Yet perhaps the area most Man Utd fans will want to see a fresh face is in midfield.

Ten Hag is closing in on a deal for Fiorentina and Morocco man Sofyan Amrabat - who was sensational at the World Cup last year.

A transfer is yet to be completed, but the Red Devils faithful will be hoping they can get it over the line to shore up the middle of the park.

If he does join the club, he could line up alongside Casemiro at the base of the midfield on Sunday.

They could play in front of a back five consisting of keeper Andre Onana, Reguilon, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Mason Mount would likely drop to the bench following a difficult start to life at United.

That would mean a trio of Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Antony as the forwards behind Hojlund - who will be hoping to hit the ground running in the Premier League.
