Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is pushing for the signing of Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund – who has already spoken of his desire to move to Old Trafford
Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund has already made it clear he wants to join Manchester United this summer as the club ramp up their pursuit of the Denmark international.
United are intent on signing a new central striker this summer following the expiration of Wout Weghorst’s loan arrangement â leaving Anthony Martial as the only recognised senior player in that position, with the Frenchman’s future at Old Trafford unclear.
It is understood that boss Erik ten Hag prefers a move for Hojlund over Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani. United transfer chiefs believed Harry Kane was unattainable this summer while the price tag of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen was prohibitive.
The Denmark international has impressed in his debut season in Bergamo having joined from Sturm Graz last summer. He bagged nine goals in Serie A while also impressing for his nation in the European Championships qualifiers.
