Rasmus Hojlund Favours Manchester United Move Over Paris Saint-Germain

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has made Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund his first choice striker target this summer, and it looks like the 20-year-old is keen to make the move to Old Trafford. Reports suggest that Hojlund is ‘flattered’ by Paris Saint-Germain’s interest, but still favours a move to United, even if his representatives are approached to discuss personal terms.

United Make Offer for Hojlund

United have submitted an offer of €50million plus €10m in add-ons for the 20-year-old, with Atalanta believed to be holding out for a deal closer to €70m. PSG made their move on Thursday making a bid of €50m, one that falls short of Atalanta’s asking price and the bid tabled by United. The French champions are still awaiting a response from Atalanta but will not increase their offer and walk away from the deal if it is rejected.

Hojlund Agrees Personal Terms With United

Hojlund has already agreed personal terms with United over a five-year deal at Old Trafford, which will include the option of a further 12 months. The Dane scored nine Serie A goals last season and is seen as an ideal replacement for Romelu Lukaku who left for Inter Milan two years ago. United have made two signings this summer in bringing Mason Mount and Andre Onana to the club from Chelsea and Inter Milan respectively.

Erik ten Hag On Transfer Progress

United boss Erik ten Hag has been vocal in his desire to bring in another forward option this summer. Ten Hag said: ‘The only thing I can say is we do everything that’s in our power to get that done. If it was up to me, yeah, as soon as possible. The earlier the better because we have to integrate him in the team, the way of play. In an ideal situation, he was already here but you do not always get ideal situations as a manager and you have to deal with the situation.’

Conclusion

It looks like Hojlund is keen on a move to Manchester United this summer, and with personal terms already agreed, it seems like only a matter of time before the deal is completed. United have already made two signings this summer and are now looking to add a third in the form of Hojlund. Ten Hag is keen to get the deal done as soon as possible so that he can integrate Hojlund into the team and their style of play.
