Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund has said Manchester United are on the “top shelf” of football teams, which is his “goal” to reach.
Hojlund is being linked with a move to Old Trafford with Erik ten Hag eager to sign a new No. 9
Ten Hag’s options in that position have been severely limited following the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo last November.
Anthony Martial led the line for much of the second half of the season but has a very poor injury record so is not a reliable option, meanwhile, Wout Weghorst was signed on loan in January but failed to prove himself at the club and was often bizarrely used in a No. 10 role due to his inability to lead the line.
United are linked with several strikers and will pursue a different player early on in the transfer window should Spurs owner Daniel Levy make it clear he will not sell Kane to a Premier League rival.
