Manchester United is working harder to find their next acquisition, while Rasmus Hojlund is apparently getting closer to returning to Serie A.
This summer, Manchester United has spent over £200 million on new players, acquiring Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.
In last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal, every player contributed positively, suggesting that Ruben Amorim’s team will be more potent offensively this year.
It is generally believed that the Red Devils’ top priority is to get a new goalkeeper and defensive midfielder, although they still need improvements in other areas before the summer transfer window ends.
Man Utd probably needs to generate money through exits in order to complete purchases in these positions, and Hojlund now appears to be the most likely to leave before this window closes.
After Sesko arrived, the striker fell in the hierarchy, and in a “clear message” from Amorim, he was left out of Manchester United’s squad for their game against Arsenal.
Hojlund’s form drastically decreased last season after a respectable debut season at Old Trafford. He received a lot of criticism for his bad play, and the forward lost all confidence as he found it difficult to perform the fundamentals.
Hojlund should benefit from a fresh start elsewhere, and earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano revealed his preference regarding his next move.
He said on X: “Rasmus Højlund and his camp have made clear to Napoli, RB Leipzig, AC Milan and all clubs interested that he prefers loan with obligation to buy.
“Højlund always wanted to stay at Man United…
“…but if he has to leave, want move to be guaranteed to feel total confidence.”
Now, Sky Italy are reporting that Serie A holders Napoli have made Hojlund a ‘priority’ target following Romelu Lukaku’s injury and are ‘willing’ to ‘change the deal’ in Man Utd’s favour.
The report claims:
‘Rasmus Hojlund is a priority for Napoli, who have returned to the transfer market to find a reinforcement in attack following Romelu Lukaku’s injury.
‘The parties are in constant contact, with the Azzurri willing to change the deal to secure the Dane, moving from a loan with an option to buy to a €40-€45 million [potentially £39m overall] commitment.’
Romano disclosed on Friday morning that Senne Lammens, a star for Royal Antwerp, is still a possibility for Manchester United, who are nearing a personal deal with the goalie.
