Hojlund injured himself in pre-season with his former club Atalanta and will not be fit for United’s Premier League opener versus Wolves on August 14.
The 20-year-old could miss the first couple of games as he builds up fitness.
It has also emerged that during his medical an MRI scan revealed he has a back problem that can lead to stress fractures in young players.
It is believed he may have his game time limited for the start of season to allow the injury to recover and not develop into anything serious.
But manager Erik ten Hag will be boosted by the fact the he is at Carrington and training, even if it is away from his team-mates.
Hojlund was fit enough to do more than just gym work, heading on to the pitch where he was pictured dribbling and juggling the ball.
Man Utd agreed a £72million deal with Atalanta for his services, with an initial £64m to be paid upfront and a potential £8m coming in add-ons.

Hojlund is boyhood Man Utd fan and on his arrival admitted that it is a dream come true to have joined.
He said: “It is no secret that I have been a fan of this great club since I was a small boy.
“I dreamed of walking out at Old Trafford as a Man Utd player.
“I am incredibly excited by this opportunity to turn that dream into a reality, and I am determined to repay the faith that the club has shown in me.
