Rasmus Hojlund’s Potential Move to Manchester United: A Cheeky Hint from His Personal Fitness Team
Manchester United fans are eagerly awaiting news of potential new signings this summer, and it seems that Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund could be on his way to Old Trafford. The young Danish striker has caught the attention of United manager Erik ten Hag, who is in desperate need of a new number nine. Talks are currently underway between the two clubs, with United hoping to secure a deal for around £50 million.
Hojlund himself is said to be keen on the move and has made it clear to Atalanta that he wants to leave. In a cheeky hint on social media, his personal fitness team, Energeticx, uploaded a video of the 20-year-old training during his summer holidays. The caption accompanying the video read, “We ready for what’s next,” which many fans took as a reference to a potential move to United. The video also tagged Hojlund alongside a ‘ssshing’ emoji, further fueling speculation.
Working with trainer Ibrahim Junior Mansaray, Hojlund can be seen in the video participating in fitness drills and ball work. Despite not having to report back to Atalanta for pre-season training until next week, he is clearly committed to maintaining his fitness and preparing for the potential move to United.
United had initially shown interest in signing Tottenham star Harry Kane but withdrew their pursuit due to concerns over the astronomical fee that would be demanded by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. Hojlund emerged as a more affordable alternative, and Ten Hag has held several video calls with the young striker before giving the green light for negotiations.
The recent acquisition of Hojlund by agency SEG International should also help facilitate talks between all parties involved. SEG International also represents Ten Hag, which could further strengthen United’s position in securing the Danish starlet’s signature.
Hojlund had an impressive first season in Serie A, scoring eight goals in 19 starts after joining Atalanta from Austrian club Sturm Graz last year. He also made a significant impact on the international stage, netting five goals in two games for Denmark in March, including a hat-trick against Finland.
United’s pursuit of Hojlund is part of their ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad this summer. They have already secured the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea in a £60 million deal and are hoping to finalize negotiations with Inter for goalkeeper Andre Onana for £44 million.
With the potential addition of Hojlund, United would address their need for a new number nine and add more firepower to their frontline. The young Danish striker has shown great potential and could be a valuable asset to the team.
As negotiations continue between United and Atalanta, fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates on the potential transfer. If the cheeky hint from Hojlund’s personal fitness team is anything to go by, it seems that the young striker is ready for what’s next – a move to Manchester United.
