Rasmus Hojlund had underlined his wish to stay a player of Manchester United, but the Dane can now change that attitude with AC Milan who fell in the pecking order after the transfer of Benjamin Sesko
Rasmus Hojlund is willing to admit the defeat in his career at Manchester United and to pursue the starting door after the signing of Benjamin Sesko pushed him through the pecking order.
Ruben Amorim has signed a number of new attackers, but they only confirmed the conquest of a no. 9 on Saturday. They indicated more than £ 70 million to land Sesko and that has been set to hinder Hojlund's involvement.
He previously rejected the potential of moving to RB Leipzig when the equipment of Manchester negotiated a deal for Sesko. Although the Dane is now more receptive to the idea of leaving Old Trafford with AC Milan at the table, Talksport reports.
The Italians are in conversation with United about a possible movement for the Hojlund of £ 40 million. The Serie A -Outfit would ideally want a loan agreement with a purchase option at the end of the season, because the Red Devils only earn back part of the cash they have paid to sign the striker two years ago.
If he leaves for the aforementioned reimbursement, this would still represent a loss of approximately £ 30 million on rush, which previously led four goals in the Premier League in the previous term. That lack of potential is what Amorim has motivated to go on the market.
Only last week Hojlund, in the midst of United's conversation, claimed that a new striker pursued that he enjoyed the prospect of competition and was determined to prove himself. “I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to keep fighting for my place, whatever happens,” he said.
“The competition is fine with me, it's me. I am more than ready. I feel sharp, so I welcome everything that comes. I think it is good with the competition and it is only the team that still very young. I think people sometimes forget. I am only 22. I am clear, not every striker scores at the age of 22.
It is still to see whether Joshua Zirkzee has a future in Manchester with Sesko now because of the spearhead an attack that will also contain Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. All in all, the Portuguese manager spent more than £ 200 million in his first summer.
Amorim himself failed to exclude that Hojlund would leave in this window when he admitted: “The most important thing is that Rasmus scores goals. He is very good at the team. He improves. Again, I don't know what will happen until the market is closed.”
