Manchester United have joined the hunt for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund, according to recent reports. The Red Devils are interested in signing the 20-year-old Denmark U21 international, although Real Madrid are also said to be in the picture.
Hojlund has been a standout performer for Atalanta this season, making 21 appearances and contributing seven goals and two assists to the cause. With Manchester United looking to bring in a new striker when the transfer window opens, they could be looking to add Hojlund to their ranks.
Atalanta are likely to be reluctant to part with the promising youngster, who still has four-and-a-half years left on his current contract. With that in mind, any potential move for Hojlund is likely to be an expensive one, and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are willing to pay the asking price.
Real Madrid already have Karim Benzema in their forward line, but they lack quality in depth and could be ready to swoop in for Hojlund. It will be interesting to see what unfolds in the coming weeks as the two clubs continue to compete for the young forward’s signature.
