Manchester United fans were not able to buy Rasmus Hojlund shirts for more than a month after his arrival – because they didn't have the right letters.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old joined the club for an initial \u00a364million from Atalanta and was handed the No.11 shirt, but supporters couldn't get a replica because of the Danish '\u00f8' which is replaced by o in the English equivalent.<\/p>\n
Hojlund, who recovered from injury to make his debut against Arsenal before the international break, was finally a name avaliable to fans from Friday – six weeks after his signing was confirmed.<\/p>\n
The Mail report that United got their stock on Thursday, meaning fans can now get ready for his potential first start against Brighton on September 16.<\/p>\n

Hojlund was signed by United to give Erik ten Hag a central striking option, despite his inexperience at the age of just 20.<\/p>\n
The forward has just 88 senior club appearances to his name having joined Atalanta from Sturm Graz in 2022 – the same year he left Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
Hojlund does have six goals to his name with the Denmark national side, making his debut in September of last year.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag has said of the youngster: "He didn\u2019t even play games but now in the training sessions, he confirms the impression we had of him when we scouted him.<\/p>\n
"We really intensely scouted him. He\u2019s acting very good this week, very good spirit. He\u2019s very motivated, of course, to start, to be in the team.<\/p>\n
