Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund open to joining AC Milan

Rasmus Hojlund may not play for Man United again after he was an unused replacement against Fiorentina on the day Benjamin Sesko signed.

United is convinced that a deal can be closed with Milan, who rebuild their team after the return of coach Massimiliano Allegri. Milan finished eighth last season and was not eligible for Europe.

It remains unclear whether a permanent deal could be calculated as a united value Hojlund at around £ 30 million and Milan is looking for a loan movement for the 22-year-old.

Hojlund is only two years after a five -year -old deal at United, but the club decided to cash in early this calendar year if they recruited a new center ahead.

Benjamin Sesko was introduced to the old Trafford-Mold prior to the pre-season friendly with Fiorentina on Saturday after he completed his £ 73.62 million step from RB Leipzig.

Hojlund was an unused replacement in the 1-1 draw-the first time he did not appear in one of the five-season matches of United. Head coach Ruben Amorim chose to start playmaker Mason Mount in front, after he had played Matheus Cunha there in the 2-2 draw with Everton six days earlier.

The men who were unveiled last week, sources close to Hojlund found that he should leave when Sesko came in. Hojlund is unhappy in United who seems to force him and only strive 12 days ago that he wanted to stay in the club. Amorim refused to give public guarantees that Hojlund would remain.

International players are under more pressure to ensure that they regularly have playing time this season prior to the World Cup 2026. Hojlund scored one goal in his last 16 performances for Denmark and was dropped on the bench for their last qualification against Lithuania.

United signed Hojlund from Atalanta in a £ 72 million deal in July 2023, after he was planning not to break the £ 60 million barrier for their new frontman. Hojlund has scored 26 goals in 95 games for the club.

Milan would offer a familiar site for Hojlund, because the city is approximately 40 kilometers from Bergamo, where Atalanta is located.
