Manchester United are looking to improve their attacking options by signing Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness, Manchester United will have to submit a substantial offer to sign the 20-year-old striker in the summer. Hojlund has been previously valued at €60 million and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are ready to pay up.
It is no secret that Manchester United will have to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer. The Red Devils have been overly reliant on Marcus Rashford for goals, and the English international needs more support from his teammates. Erik ten Hag must look to bring in a reliable striker this summer. And Hojlund has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
Hojlund has proven his quality since joining the Italian club at the start of the season, and he has 16 goals and seven assists to his name across song competitions. He has a big future ahead of him. And the opportunity to join a club like Manchester United could prove to be hard to turn down.
Erik ten Hag has a proven record of nurturing talented young players into established stars, and he could help the 20-year-old fulfil his world-class potential. Manchester United certainly have the financial resources to pay big money for the young striker, valued at €60 million, and they should look to wrap up the deal quickly.
It has been an impressive season for Manchester United so far. They managed to win the League Cup and finish in the top four. The Red Devils will hope to challenge for the Premier League title next season, and they will have to address the gaps in their squad in order to compete with clubs like Manchester City.
Signing a talented young striker should be a top priority for them. Meanwhile, Manchester United have been linked with players like Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane as well. However, both players are likely to cost a lot more compared to the €60 million-rated Hojlund. And it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can bring in the necessary reinforcements now.
