Manchester United would have a new striker for this season and it surprises everyone
Manchester United appear to have finished tying up their new striker for next season. It is precisely the Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, a player who was one of the great revelations of the Italian Serie A. After several contacts between managements, the final price for the player has finally been agreed, which will surprise more than one.
Rasmus Hojlund is a profile very reminiscent of Erling Haaland in his early days, but certainly scaled back in terms of the Norwegian’s impressive scoring ability. Still, what the Dane did at Atalanta was enough for Manchester United to decide to sign him for next season. According to Fabrizio Romano, the player has a multi-year contract with the Red Devils.
Hojlund is the club’s next main transfer target after agreeing a deal with Inter for goalkeeper Andre Onana, who will undergo a medical after agreeing an initial transfer fee of €51million. United want Hojlund as soon as possible despite the near impossibility of getting him on the US tour.
How much will Manchester United pay for Hojlund?
According to English media, the player is set to come for €60m, the same price Manchester City paid for Haaland. However, the Atalanta coach assures that they are evaluating him at the club at a higher price. “I don’t know if he will stay or go, but I expect the club to value Højlund at around 80, 90 or 100 million. Rasmus is one of the best, if not the best, emerging talent in Europe as a striker,” he said. Gasperini in preparation.

Anthony Martial is the only ‘number nine’ in the first team squad and he is not even fit, yet, and can’t be trusted to remain so.

Randal Kolo Muani on Manchester United radar
According to Andy Mitten of The National, Manchester United are ‘actively negotiating’ with Eintracht Frankfurt over a deal for Muani.
He explains why the Red Devils are so high on the 24-year-old, believing the France international to be a complete forward.
The report explains: “Muani, a former winger, is rated by United for his quick feet, ability to beat players as well as score. He also has the height that would be useful when defending set pieces.”
Muani a good option at the right price
Similarly with Manchester United’s pursuit of Rasmus Hojlund, a deal for Muani comes down to Eintracht Frankfurt having a reasonable valuation of him.
He only signed for the German club last summer, and they are under no pressure to sell.
The Mail claimed way back in March that Frankfurt could demand around £100 million, before claiming they may be willing to settle for just £50-60 million.
