Manchester United has made a decision about the future of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, where the Red Devils want to strengthen their attacking options this summer
Manchester United has reportedly decided to reduce their losses with Rasmus Hojlund, but Joshua Zirkzee will remain in Old Trafford. The Red Devils want to strengthen their attack this summer and a new striker is at the top of their shopping list.
Both Hojlund and Zirkzee have Underwhelmed last season and only scored 17 goals in a combined 105 performances in all competitions. United spent around £ 72 million to sign Hojlund from Atalanta in 2023 and £ 36.5 million to sign Zirkzee from Bologna in 2024.
Both players are linked to movements away from Old Trafford this summer, but the Italian Outlet Corriere Dello Sport reports that United has decided to keep Zirkzee and keep cash on Hojlund.
Gazzetta Dello Sport now claims that Inter Milan is talking to United during a deal for Hojlund. The report states that United wants around € 45 million (£ 38 million) for the 22-year-old, which would represent a big loss.
It is said that inter 'full speed forward' is going for Hojlund and hope to sign it on loan with an 'almost certain' option to buy. Although United would rather sell the player this summer, it is claimed that an 'expensive' loan costs can seduce them.
Hojlund was recently asked about his future while he was in international service at Denmark and told TV2 Sport: “I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United. I look forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I am fully devoted to the project that is underway.
“I know I can't get much to read things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I just get ready for a summer vacation and hopefully a good pre-season.”
And when he was immediately asked about the interest of Inter to sign him, Hojlund said to Ekstra Bladet: “No. As I told you before, I try to stay away, because nowadays it is both better and for worse.
“I know I can't get much to read things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I just get ready for a summer vacation and hopefully a good pre-season.”
United has already signed a newly attacked and pronounced £ 62.5 million for Wolves star Matheus Cunha. Cunha scored 15 league goals for Wolves last season, but he is not an out-and-out striker and United is strongly connected to a number of other forward options.
