Manchester United is on the verge of securing the services of Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund in a £72 million transfer deal from Atalanta. The 20-year-old, seen as a top talent, is expected to ease the burden on last season’s top scorer, Marcus Rashford. Despite being unproven at the highest level, Hojlund’s potential has impressed the United coaching staff. The deal is likely to be completed soon, pending a medical examination.
In other news, Manchester United’s off-pitch situation remains uncertain, as the Glazer family considers offers from potential buyers. The prolonged saga of the club’s ownership may continue into the new season. However, on the playing front, Rashford is aiming to become United’s record scorer, with current holder Wayne Rooney believing he has the potential to achieve the feat. The 25-year-old forward, who scored 30 goals last season, is confident of surpassing Rooney’s record of 253 goals for the club.
