Fabrizio Romano believes Serie A striker to Manchester United is one to watch

Fabrizio Romano believes we should “keep an eye on” Rasmus Hojlund links to Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag needs to sign a goalscorer this summer. Maybe two for maximum effect since expectations are on the rise at Old Trafford.

In his first season as manager, United won their first trophy in six years and returned to the top four, finishing third in the Premier League.

It is clear that one area where Ten Hag wants to improve is the attacking department.

While Ten Hag wanted Harry Kane of Tottenham, it is now understood that we’ve baulked at Daniel Levy’s asking price (sheer reluctance to sell to another English club).

That means United will have to turn their attention elsewhere and one name being linked with Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano gave an update on Hojlund in his latest CaughtOffside newsletter.

Romano wrote: “Keep an eye on (Rasmus) Hojlund, United have been following him for a long time, and the player now has new agents, the same agency as Ten Hag.

“It’s important to say, however, that United have still not made any bid. Atalanta want at least €60m for Hojlund. It can be a gamble to go all in on such a young, unproven player, but Hojlund is an incredible talent, his potential is huge.

“In my opinion, he probably needs one more season as a starter at a “good” club before a top, top club move but the potential is special, really. He’s very serious guy, loves to work hard, I’m sure he’d try his best to be ready to take his game up a level at somewhere like United.”
