Manchester United have held positive talks over the potential transfer of Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, according to CaughtOffside columnist Ben Jacobs.
Writing on CaughtOffside’s Substack, Jacobs explained that Man Utd have seemingly done some good work on the player’s side of things, but the complication remains agreeing a deal with Atalanta, who want as much as £60million for the young Denmark international.
Hojlund looks a superb talent with a big future in the game, but the Red Devils would rather sign the 20-year-old for closer to £45m, and player sales may also be required after spending their budget on Mason Mount and the imminent arrival of Andre Onana.
Jacobs has mentioned a few names who could be on the move, with Fred and Donny van de Beek unsurprisingly not looking like having much of a future at Old Trafford.
Intriguingly, there’s also some uncertainty over Scott McTominay, according to Jacobs, who has interest from Roma and who may want more first-team football.
