Fabrizio Romano has given an update on Manchester United’s links with Rasmus Hojlund.
Contrary to popular belief, the Red Devils have not yet submitted a bid for the forward. Reports suggested that United had submitted a £30 million offer but Romano has since confirmed that this isn’t the case.
Whether or not they will, though, remains to be seen. Atalanta will reportedly demand a fee of around €60-70m (£51-60m) to sanction the exit of the 20-year-old just one year on from his arrival.
The United board are seemingly strapped for cash this transfer window as everyone awaits a conclusion to the tedious takeover saga, and with Mason Mount edging closer to completing a £55m move from Chelsea, that may limit the striker budget considerably.
Hojlund wants United move
If United do meet his price tag, Hojlund will certainly push for the move himself – Romano added that the forward “would love” to join the club having held talks with Erik ten Hag.
Last season, the youngster scored nine goals in 32 Serie A appearances, though he did start the campaign by being used primarily as a substitute.
He received plaudits following his Denmark debut after netting a hat-trick during his nation’s Euro qualifying win over Finland.
