Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign 20-year-old Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund in a €75 million deal.
Rasmus Hojlund has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks. And French journalist Santi Aouna has claimed that Manchester United are now closing in on a €75 million agreement for the Atalanta striker.
Hojlund joined Atalanta last summer, and he scored 16 goals across all competitions this past season. He managed to pick up seven assists along the way as well. The player has reportedly prioritised a move to Manchester United this summer.
The 20-year-old is undoubtedly one of the best young forwards in Europe right now, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on improving their attacking options this summer, and the Denmark international certainly fits the profile.
He would be a quality long-term investment for the Red Devils, and he could sort out the Manchester United attack for the foreseeable future. The 20-year-old is expected to lead the line at Old Trafford next season, with Marcus Rashford returning to his natural role as the left-sided winger.

Hojlund will look to continue his development with regular football in the Premier League, and a manager like Erik ten Hag could help him fulfil his tremendous potential. Although the €75 million package seems quite expensive for a relatively untested young forward, Hojlund has the potential to justify the investment in the long run.
Manchester United will be hoping to compete for the league title next season, and they need more quality and depth in the side. Someone like the Denmark international could make a big difference in the final third.
The Red Devils had to sign Wout Weghorst on loan during the second half of last season to add more quality to their attack. But the Dutchman was an underwhelming signing. Hojlund would be a major upgrade, and he will certainly add some cutting edge to the Manchester United attack.

It will be interesting to see if the 20-year-old striker can hit the ground running in the Premier League and make an immediate impact for Manchester United next season. The €75 million outlay will definitely heap pressure on the youngster.
