Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing 20-year-old Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund this summer.
Recently, there were reports that Manchester United failed with an offer to sign Rasmus Hojlund. And The Sun claims that Manchester United are now preparing a £40 million offer to sign the highly-coveted 20-year-old striker.
It will be interesting to see if the Serie A outfit are prepared to accept the fresh offer from Manchester United in the coming weeks. The Red Devils need to bring in a quality striker, and Hojlund has emerged as a viable target.
The 20-year-old is highly rated around Europe, and he has the potential to develop into a world-class goal scorer. He has managed to make an immediate impact in Italian football, and he certainly has the ability to play for the top club like Manchester United.
Competing in the Premier League against top-class players, and working under a coach like Erik ten Hag could help the Denmark international fulfil his tremendous potential and accelerate his development. But Manchester United recently had a bid rejected for the Danish striker.
The 20-year-old scored 16 goals across all competitions last season, and he could share the goalscoring burden with Marcus Rashford. The England international had to carry the Manchester United attack all by himself last season, and he needs more help from his teammates.
Manchester United must prioritise a deal to sign a quality striker this summer, and Hojlund seems like the perfect fit for them. The 20-year-old could lead the line for Manchester United next season, allowing Rashford to operate in his natural role as the winger.
The Red Devils are back in the UEFA Champions League, and they will be hoping to do well in the European competition. They need better players this summer, and Hojlund will certainly add a cutting edge in the final third.
Signing a prodigious talent like him for £40 million could prove to be a bargain in the long run. Manchester United will be an attractive option for the 20-year-old, and he is likely to be tempted if they come calling. The Red Devils certainly have the finances to get the deal done and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
