Manchester United have faced a range of problems to solve in a turbulent start to the season, from Erik ten Hag’s injury crisis to players publicly questioning his authority on social media. But United were dealt with one of the more obscure issues in the club’s Megastore at Old Trafford, likely causing a significant loss of revenue.<\/p>\n
Rasmus Hojlund joined the Red Devils from Atalanta in a dream transfer worth \u00a372million on August 5.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old Denmark striker’s arrival was met with much fanfare, addressing Ten Hag’s desperate need for reinforcements in the position.<\/p>\n
Naturally, when a football club makes a marquee signing, fans will flock to buy shirts donning the player’s name and number in support.<\/p>\n
However, United supporters could do neither for around the first month of Hojlund’s career in M16 due to an embarrassing blunder.<\/p>\n
According to the Mail, United’s club shop didn’t have any Danish ‘\u00f8’s in stock for more than a month and, therefore, couldn’t offer shirts with Hojlund’s name on the back.<\/p>\n
Fans who wanted the new star striker’s name as late as Friday were told of the delay and promised an update on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The big summer signing, and you still can’t get a shirt with his name on it because nobody saw fit to get the Danish ‘\u00f8’.”<\/p>\n Hojlund’s shirt number also remained unknown until shortly before making his debut against Arsenal last weekend.<\/p>\n The 6ft 5in goalscorer was widely expected to inherit Fred’s No 17 shirt but instead replaced Mason Greenwood as United’s No 11 after the latter’s deadline-day loan move to Getafe.<\/p>\n Despite the club’s message to fans on Friday, United claim the ‘\u00f8’s arrived on Thursday, and Hojlund’s shirts are finally available to purchase.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
