Rasmus Hojlund is on the brink of making a move to Manchester United, as the Red Devils have reached an agreement with Atalanta for a transfer fee of €70 million.
The deal between United and Atalanta consists of an initial payment of €60 million, with an additional €10 million in potential add-ons, as reported by Sky.

The young Danish striker, aged 20, is expected to sign a five-year contract with the option for an extra year, according to information from The Daily Mail.
Having been in search of a new striker throughout the summer, Manchester United saw a promising opportunity when Hojlund was omitted from Atalanta’s friendly squad against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Although Paris Saint-Germain also attempted to secure Hojlund’s services with a bid of €50 million, it was rejected. Now, it appears that United is poised to win the race for his signature.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, was keen on acquiring a new striker to lighten the goal-scoring burden on Marcus Rashford, and it seems his wish is about to come true.
While Hojlund possesses considerable potential, his performance last season, with nine goals in 32 Serie A appearances, indicates that he is still a work in progress.
