Manchester United are optimistic about finalizing a deal for Rasmus Hojlund before the start of the Premier League season. The club has already submitted an opening bid of £42 million plus £8.5 million in add-ons for the Atalanta striker. Discussions are ongoing, and United is hopeful of reaching an agreement with Atalanta in time for Hojlund’s transfer to Old Trafford before the opening game against Wolves on August 14.
In the event that United is unable to sign Hojlund within their £60 million budget, the club retains interest in Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt and Mohammed Kudus from Ajax. However, United is confident that they can secure a deal for Hojlund.
Despite rumors linking Manchester United to Tottenham’s Harry Kane, the club remains distant due to the high price tag and age of the England captain. United acknowledges that there is a greater risk associated with Hojlund, who only scored nine goals for Atalanta in Serie A last season. However, the club believes in Erik ten Hag’s ability to develop and improve Hojlund for the Premier League.
United is confident that they can acquire Hojlund without having to sell any more players, as they have already offloaded Anthony Elanga, Alex Telles, and Zidane Iqbal. The club may even have funds remaining for a potential fourth signing, and they are keeping an eye on goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Urawa Red Diamonds.
Onana made an impressive debut for United against Real Madrid, despite conceding an early goal. The Cameroonian goalkeeper showcased his skills and played out from the back, demonstrating his ability as a ball-playing goalkeeper.
Bellingham, who scored his first goal for Real since his recent move from Borussia Dortmund, was involved in a minor altercation with Lisandro Martinez during the match. However, they resolved the issue and showed respect towards each other.
United will continue their preseason tour against Dortmund before returning to their training camp in San Diego.
