AC Milan has proposed a season -hose loan worth £ 4 million for from favor Manchester United Striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Ruben Amorim left the DANE on the couch as an unused replacement in the last pre-season friendly match of United against Fiorentina in Old Trafford.
It was still the clearest sign to the player that Amorim does not intend to use him in the future, added to the fact that new £ 73.7 million striker Benjamin Sesko was unveiled before the kick -off after signing RB Leipzig last week.
United is willing to sell Hojlund for just £ 30 million, but Daily Mail Sport understands that AC Milan is looking for a loan agreement for the 2025-26 season.
The Italian side has offered a loan costs of £ 4 million, with the potential for an option of £ 39 million to buy if Hojlund impresses in Italy, where United signed him in 2023.
Hojlund is eager to stay and to fight his place, but Saturday's snub was the clearest indicator so far that he does not yet appear in Amorim's plans in the future.
The Dane was overlooked when the midfielder Mason Mount started through the middle as a false no. 9.
Afterwards the game, which United won on penalties, admitted Amorim: “Sometimes we struggled like a striker without the reference … We now have a new striker.”
Hojlund now has a decision to take United from Europe and only have one match a week, to open the prospect of limited minutes, or none at all.
“I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to keep fighting for my place, whatever happens,” Hojlund said after scoring in the 4-1 victory over Bournemouth in Chicago during the American pre-season tour.
“The competition is fine for me, it sharpened me,” he added.
“I'm more than ready. I feel sharp, so I welcome everything that comes. I think it is good with the competition and it only sharpens the team.
“I'm still very young. I think people forget that sometimes I am only 22. Of course, not every striker at the age of 22 scores 100 goals. But I learned a lot, I think you can see in my game.
Hojlund, who scored 26 goals in 95 performances for United since the signing of Atalanta in the summer of 2023, has viewed the entire summer while his club was looking for a new No. 9 to lead the line.
United lost to Chelsea Target Liam Delap, while also inquired about Viktor Gyokores and Hugo Ekitike, who called in Arsenal and Liverpool respectively.
But on the eve of the new season, they made an important declaration of intent by landing Sesko from RB Leipzig.
Sesko rejected Newcastle United to become the new figurehead for Amorim's renewed attack, which also added Matheus Cunha (£ 62.5 million) and Bryan Mbeumo (£ 71 million).
Sesko said: “When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is for this team to keep growing and to compete again for the biggest trophies.”
United ended in the Premier League last season, but Sesko did not deter that because he signed a five -year contract.
'From the moment I arrived, I felt the positive energy and family environment that the club created. It is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and to fulfill all my ambitions.
“The history of Manchester United is clearly very special, but what really excites me is the future,” he added.
United remains on the market to add another midfielder and contacted the representatives of Carlos Baleba, but that does not loved them with his club Brighton, who does not want to sell.
