MANCHESTER UNITED have received a major transfer boost with Atalanta closing in on Rasmus Hojlund’s potential replacement.
Hojlund poses as United’s top target to spearhead their attack this coming season but negotiations have hit a snag due to his release clause.
The Serie A outfit demand a whopping £86million to let the striker go but the Red Devils insist they won’t go over £60m.
