Manchester United's big-money signing Rasmus Hojlund will have to wait for his Old Trafford debut after being ruled out of their opening Premier League game, manager Erik ten Hag said on Friday. The 20-year-old Danish striker, who was signed from Atalanta for a reported 72 million pounds ($91.33 million), is struggling with a stress fracture of the back.

"As we said previously, he had a small issue and he's not on the levels where our players are in this moment so we have to train him," Ten Hag told reporters ahead of Monday's home clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers. "Prognosis is always difficult to say. We are confident, and we are positive."

The United manager said he was happy with the signing of Hojlund despite the club being linked with Harry Kane - who appears set to join Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich.

"First of all, we have chosen a striker and we are really happy with our choice," the Dutchman said. "He's (Kane) a great striker... It's a miss for the Premier League, absolutely."

Defender Harry Maguire is likely to be available for United's Premier League opener, despite a reported deal being agreed with West Ham United for the out-of-favour defender.

When asked about Maguire's availability, Ten Hag said: "Of course (Maguire)."

"(Tyrell) Malacia will take some time, same as Amad (Diallo) and Kobbie (Mainoo), they are impact injuries, all the others like (Dean) Henderson, (Rasmus) Hojlund, quite short notice, but it will take a few weeks," the Dutchman added, speaking about other injury problems within the squad.

<h2>Fred on his way to Fenerbahce</h2>

Manchester United have agreed a deal in principle to sell Brazilian midfielder Fred to Fenerbahce, the Premier League club said on Friday.

The 30-year-old Fred, who has one year left on his United contract, is due to fly to Istanbul on Saturday for a medical.

British media reported that the Turkish side would pay a transfer fee of 15 million euros ($16.42 million).

"The Brazil international is set for a switch to the Turkish Super Lig, subject to a medical, agreeing personal terms and receiving international clearance to process the move," United added in their statement.

Fred joined the Old Trafford club in 2018 from Shakhtar Donetsk and has made 213 appearances, scoring 14 goals.

Manchester United's latest signing Rasmus Hojlund out of season opener due to stress fracture: Ten Hag

On Tuesday (May 16), England cricket have been dealt a big blow ahead of the Ashes 2023 edition, to be held in the United Kingdom in the English summer. Ace speedster Jofra Archer has been ruled out of the entire English summer with the recurrence of stress fracture in his right elbow. Archer was part of IPL 2023 before being out of the tournament very recently due to injury concerns.&nbsp;

On Archer's unavailability, Rob Key, Managing Director of England Men's Cricket, said, as ECB announced a strong 15-member squad for the one-off Ireland Test, "We wish him the best of luck with his recovery. I’m sure we'll see Jofra back to his best and winning games for England."

England Men's Test Squad for Ireland Test at Lord's:

Ben Stokes (Durham) Captain 
James Anderson (Lancashire) 
Jonathan Bairstow (Yorkshire) 
Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire) 
Harry Brook (Yorkshire)

Archer's career has been marred by several injuries. In 2021, a stress fracture to his right elbow disrupted his progress whereas it was followed by&nbsp;a stress fracture of the back in 2022. With a recurrence of the elbow issue, the 28-year-old is out of action for the entire English summer with dark clouds hovering over his participation in England's title defence in the forthcoming 2023 ODI World Cup, to be held in India later this year.

Archer returned to international cricket after almost two years during England's tour of South Africa early this year. He was also part of England's limited-overs tour of Bangladesh as well but injury concerns came haunting back during his limited appearance for Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2023. He played only five games&nbsp;where he accounted for only&nbsp;two scalps, at an economy rate of 9.50, and returned home midway to focus on his rehabilitation.&nbsp;
