Ruben Amorim\u2019s side will travel to Blundell Park<\/a> as favourites to record their first win of the new season, after picking up just one point from the first two games of the 2025\/26 Premier League<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n United drew 1-1 against Fulham at Craven Cottage<\/a> on Sunday, a week after losing the first game of the season 1-0 against Arsenal at Old Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n One positive from the two games so far is that United have avoided fresh injury concerns. It comes as an additional bonus that Amorim is expecting to have one of his injured players back in contention to play this week, ahead of the games against Grimsby Town and Burnley.<\/p>\n United have been without Noussair Mazraoui<\/a> for the start of the new season.<\/p>\n The Morocco international has not featured for the Red Devils since their initial pre-season friendly this summer, when he played 45 minutes of the goalless draw against Leeds.<\/p>\n Last season, Mazraoui became one of the most reliable performers in United\u2019s first team, after joining from Bayern Munich. He went on to make 57 appearances across all competitions and played in multiple positions.<\/p>\n Speaking to reporters on Sunday night ahead of the Carabao Cup tie against Grimsby Town, Amorim revealed that Mazraoui could return to face the League Two side or Burnley later in the week.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, maybe he [Mazraoui] is going to return next week, we will see,\u201d Amorim said.<\/p>\n \u201cBut he\u2019s near, we are just finishing some drills with him to be sure that he\u2019s not going to have another problem.\u201d<\/p>\n Amorim also confirmed that he will make changes to his side that will face Grimsby Town tomorrow night.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, we have three games this week, we have quality players, and we need to do rotation to try to win every game.\u201d<\/p>\n Amorim will be keen to avoid the problems that surfaced at United last season, with key players missing chunks of the season due to injury.<\/p>\n United are still waiting on Lisandro Martinez<\/a> to return.<\/p>\n Rasmus Hojlund in contention to play against Grimsby Town<\/p>\n After missing out on a place in the matchday squad against Arsenal and Fulham, the journalists were eager to question Amorim about whether Rasmus Hojlund<\/a> would be available to face Grimsby Town.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old striker is heavily linked with a move to Serie A champions Napoli, where he could team up with former United midfielder Scott McTominay<\/a> again.<\/p>\n Napoli feel they are advancing on a deal for Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, with growing optimism a move can be finalised this week \ud83d\udcbc pic.twitter.com\/S04OSniUiU<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) August 26, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Amorim stressed that all of the players are available to face Grimsby Town when asked about Hojlund.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cAll the players are available. Then we will make the choice to get the best starting XI to win every game.\u201d<\/p>\n ![\"Ruben](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2231934039-1024x683.jpg\")
