Manchester United has performed their attempts to land Bryan Mbeumo and at the same time received an AC Milan study while they keep an eye on Spits Rasmus Hojlund
AC Milan inquired about the possibility of landing Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United, rather after the Red Devils renewed their attempts to sign Bryan Mbeumo.
Ruben Amorim has been chasing the frontman of Brentford for weeks, but has seen the Saga attract. Now the club has returned with a new package worth £ 70 million, which they hope will be enough to allow the bees to finally cash in on their leading light.
Mbeumo could join Matheus Cunha at Old Trafford with the duo part of a new look attack, which could eventually see Hojlund belong to those to lose. Sky Sports in Italy reports that Milan has indicated their interest after contact with that in Manchester.
The Dane played earlier and impressed in Italy, who convinced United to spend more than £ 70 million on the unproven striker who was then in Atalanta. He was unable to consistently deliver in Old Trafford and now a switch to the Serie A could be on the maps.
Hojlund is connected to Inter Milan, but their rivals in San Siro can now become members of the party. United will have to accept a considerable loss on their striker, but how much they demand is still to be seen.
Milan finished a disappointing eighth last term, which means that they are without European football. Christian Pulisic Top scored with 17 goals for them, but Tijjani Reijnders, who demolished 15 goals, left for Manchester City and the Rossoneri have to sign another striker this summer.
The wish of United to add more firepower comes from the lack of goals in their team previous term. They struggled in the last third part and had no one in attack they could trust to consistently come to Trumps for the goal. Hojlund scored only four Premier League goals in the previous term.
Amorim accepted that the player had a shortage of expectations, but acknowledged that he was devoid of trust and claimed that it was in the whole team to serve him and help him out of his grind.
“I think if you look at the games, we have different players who miss big opportunities, not just Rasmus,” he said. “Of course, Rasmus, the game is to score goals because he is a striker, but it's a team thing. I already said that. Our team has to score more goals, it's not just Rasmus who misses opportunities.”
Amorim also added: “It is a team thing. Of course we have an idea of what this team needs, but also the boys we play with, we play at least three boys in the front to score goals and we have midfielders that can. The whole team has to score more goals and you have opportunities with the midfielders and the Striker.
