Manchester United sees Rasmus Hojlund as a potentially “unique” prospect as the Premier League’s elite clubs continue to pursue the Atalanta striker.
Recently, the trial was stale; a deal to bring the Danish international to Old Trafford has been put on hold as Erik ten Hag and company concentrate only on Mason Mount.
However, Rasmus Hojlund looks to be at the top of the Manchester United management’s “B-list” alternatives since the club’s search for a Harry Kane or a Victor Osimhen appears to have been abandoned.
If Harry Kane is their Leo di Caprio, Rasmus Hojlund might be compared to United’s Cillian Murphy. The 20-year-old actor makes up for whatever star power he may lack with watch ability.
Hojlund, a former Sturm Graz striker, is a dangerous presence for opposing defenders because of his mix of speed, power, and skill. During an impressive breakthrough season in 2022–2023, Hojlund scored 20 goals for club and country. Nonetheless, a centre forward with his promise and untapped ability should flourish with Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho, and the company’s artistic abilities.
Rasmus Hojlund have a strong following from Manchester United, which Romano explains Give
They believe the player has a lot of promise. in particular, the board. They believe he will become something great in the future.
We may infer that when Romano refers to “the board,” he’s referring to John Murtough and Richard Arnold. While they have received a lot of internet criticism, Man United’s CEO and director of football have shown considerably greater “footballing knowledge” than their Old Trafford forebears.
The real ringleaders of the Old Trafford circus, Joel and Avram Glazer, should be the target of much of the annoyance thrown at Murtough and Arnold, who both played such an essential part in the selection of Ten Hag, as the United Muppetiers has beautifully explained.
Like a Kane or an Osimhen, Hojlund is not quite the final product. But, he provides the kind of delectable raw materials that a chef with a Michelin star, like Ten Hag, might transform into something delicious.
According to rumours, Atalanta, whose director of recruiting Lee Congerton reportedly demanded £80 million from United for Harry Maguire, wanted close to 100 million euros for Hojlund.
