Manchester United to submit interesting 20m bid in ‘next Erling Haaland’
Manchester United has expressed interest in Danish wonder Rasmus Hojlund, while Real Madrid is also interested.
According to rumours in his home country of Denmark, Manchester United has submitted a ‘letter of interest’ in Atalanta sensation Rasmus Hojlund.
Since joining the Serie A club for a cost of £17 million last summer, the striker has emerged as one of Europe’s hottest talents.
Hojlund has seven goals and three assists in Serie A this season, but his efforts for Denmark have drawn parallels to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
The 20-year-old has five goals in his first two international games, including a hat-trick against Finland.
At 6’4, Hojlund has been compared to Haaland for reasons other than his goals and Scandinavian heritage.
United are looking to add a forward this summer, and Harry Kane is at the top of their list.
However, according to Danish news site BT, United have expressed interest in Hojlund in writing.
This is a mechanism used to notify Atalanta that the club wishes to be kept informed of any changes in the forward’s future.
United are not the only team interested in the 20-year-old, with Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, and Arsenal also monitoring his position.
