Rasmus Hojlund was omitted from the Manchester United team to tackle Arsenal, increasingly speculation about his future after the recent arrival of Benjamin Sesko for £ 74 million
New season, the same problems. Manchester United started their Premier League campaign 2025-26 with a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal.
By not scoring and admitting it from a set, it felt like Deja VU for supporters of Red Devils. But as Ruben Amorim put it, they were not 'boring' like last season.
The United Boss was encouraged with the performance on his part, while the old Trafford-mixed applauded them full-time. Fans were standing up for new signing sessions Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, while Benjamin Sesko made his debut in the second half.
Sesko's admission to the team came at the expense of Rasmus Hojlund, who is the subject of interests of clubs throughout Europe, including AC Milan. The sale is the priority of United for the rest of the summer transfer window that closes on 1 September.
Here is an overview of the latest news about the transfer of Old Trafford.
Amorim sends Hojlund a clear message
Ruben Amorim has warned Rasmus Hojlund that he will stay on the sidelines if he does not 'do what is needed'. Hojlund, 22, looked from the stands against Arsenal, with Benjamin Sesko to quickly appropriate him in the pecking order.
“At United, if you don't do what is needed, a teammate will take your place,” said Amorim. “I have made many mistakes, but I have shown that if you earn it, you will play.”
The Red Devils manager added: “He has to fight for his place. We will see what will happen on the market. Rasmus has the same characteristics as Ben, so sometimes we have to choose.”

Roma make contact with Malacia
Roma is in conversation to sign Tyrell Malacia, who wants to leave Manchester United before the Deadline Day of the transfer. The Dutch left back was part of a bomb team of five men who did not travel during the pre-season tour of the Red Devils by the US.
According to reports from Italy, Roma United asked about the conditions for signing Malacia during the club's conversations about Jadon Sancho. Bestikas are also interested in the 26-year-old.
Baleba breaks silence after the opener of Brighton
Carlos Baleba has broken its silence in the midst of tires from a move to Manchester United. Baleba, 21, started Brighton's 1-1 draw with Fulham on Saturday, just over a week after the Red Devils had contact with Brighton to register their interest in the Cameroonian midfielder, who received a new shirt number this season.
“Only I do what I like the most. It had fun to play at home with the boys,” said Baleba on Instagram after the game. “Nothing new here, only my number and a haircut.”
