Rasmus Hojlund: Manchester United Hopeful Of Deal Before Premier League Begins1 min read
Rasmus Hojlund has scored six goals in his six appearances for Denmark
Manchester United hope to sign Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund before the new Premier League season begins.
The Red Devils host Wolves in their 2023-24 opener on 14 August.
After Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat by Real Madrid in Houston, manager Erik ten Hag said club officials were working “24/7” to get a deal done for a new forward.
Hojlund is top of their list, but United do have alternative targets if they cannot agree a fee for the 20-year-old Denmark striker.
They are also interested in Eintracht Frankfurt’s French forward Randal Kolo Muani as well as Ajax’s Ghana international Mohammed Kudus, who can play both as an attacking midfielder and a centre forward.
United’s transfer budget is stretched because of new Financial Fair Play rules, but they do have the flexibility to bring in Hojlund without selling players.
