Rasmus Hojlund might return to Serie A, with his agents working on taking the 22-year-old Manchester United striker back to Italy amid his emerging links with RB Leipzig.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Rasmus Hojlund faces an uncertain future at Manchester United heading into the summer transfer window. The Danish striker’s agents are working on taking him back to Serie A. However, Bundesliga giants RB Leipzig will aim to beat the competition to the young attacker’s signature.
Rasmus Hojlund and his Manchester United misery
Rasmus Hojlund was among the most promising young strikers in the world when he joined Manchester United from Atalanta in a big-money deal in August 2023. While the Dane had not been prolific during his spell with La Dea, he enjoyed a solid debut season with the Red Devils.
However, the 22-year-old has endured a horrendous 2024/25 campaign, struggling to make his mark and going nearly two dozen games without a goal before ending his drought last weekend. Hojlund has managed only eight goals and two assists in 39 appearances across all competitions, a dreadful tally for a striker.
However, the Danish striker has shown some promising signs in the last few days, continuing the positive momentum by scoring the match-winning goal in Denmark’s 1-0 win over Portugal this week. Meanwhile, the youngster’s representatives are working to take him back to Serie A, while RB Leipzig will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
What next?
Recent reports have linked Rasmus Hojlund with Napoli, while Manchester United are keen on signing Victor Osimhen from the Partenopei. However, it is unclear if the young striker will get the desired opportunities at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium amid Romelu Lukaku’s exploits for Napoli.
As for RB Leipzig, Benjamin Sesko is a highly sought-after striker in the market, with widespread reports linking him with Manchester United and other Premier League bigwigs. So, Hojlund is a viable target for the Bundesliga outfit, and the league’s slower pace could help the 22-year-old Dane rediscover his form.
Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Hojlund wants to stay at Old Trafford and fight for his long-term future at Manchester United. So, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the Danish international.
