According to reports from The Athletic, Manchester United has engaged in in-depth discussions regarding the potential signings of Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani. The club is exploring the possibility of acquiring these players as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag made signing a striker a top priority for the upcoming summer transfer window. Among the potential options, the Denmark international Rasmus Hojlund is the more probable candidate to join the club at this stage. The club’s focus is on bolstering their attacking options. Hence, Hojlund emerged as a favorable choice in that regard.
Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough, has reportedly had multiple discussions with both Atalanta and Eintracht Frankfurt. This is regarding the potential signings of Rasmus Hojlund and Randal Kolo Muani, respectively.
Eintracht Frankfurt might have set an asking price of approximately £69 million for Randal Kolo Muani. Thus, reflecting their valuation of the player. On the other hand, Rasmus Hojlund is a less expensive option in terms of transfer fees.
Manchester United likely to get their hands on Rasmus Hojlund
Rasmus Hojlund, the 20-year-old striker recently joined the SEG agency. His representative, Kees Voss, who is also a co-founder of the agency, was present at Old Trafford. He witnessed Manchester United’s match against Fulham. Meanwhile, SEG agency represents Ten Hag so there is a possibility that something is cooking.
Rasmus Hojlund has garnered comparisons to Manchester City striker Erling Braut Haaland due to his playing style and qualities. With his impressive performances, Hojlund could potentially serve as Manchester United’s solution in the attacking department.
The combination of Rasmus Hojlund’s blistering speed, along with the existing rapidity of Marcus Rashford, would undoubtedly make Manchester United’s attack more formidable and intimidating for opponents. Should the club successfully secure Hojlund’s services, it would provide them with a potent and dynamic attacking duo.
