According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Rasmus Hojlund’s future at Manchester United is becoming increasingly uncertain, with the Danish striker now being told by the club that this season may be difficult.
This could be a pivotal moment in his career, and Hoylund began to take into account his next step as the transfer window entered its decisive stage.
Manchester United’s preference is to make permanent sales, allowing them to reinvest funds elsewhere.
However, the club has not completely ruled out the loan move, especially if it involves favorable financial terms and guarantees the player’s development.
AC Milan shows interest in Rasmus Hojlund
One of the most serious competitors to Hojlund’s signature is AC Milan. The Italian giants have been following the 22-year-old for weeks, as Jacobs reports, they are willing to organize a deal that matches Manchester United’s £40m valuation.
It is believed that Milan’s proposal includes initial loan fees as well as future buy options, and the model can provide flexibility for both clubs while providing Hojlund with the opportunity to continue playing time in Serie A.
Further discussions between the two clubs took place yesterday, with Milan keen on accelerating negotiations before the interests of its competitors emerged. Rossoneri sees Hojlund as an ideal complement to their frontline.
Hojlund should consider leaving Man United
For Hojlund, this decision is as much as football fit and has to do with financial terms. While staying at Old Trafford will allow him to continue fighting for a place, the prospect of leading a team with clubs like Milan is tempting.
This summer, Benjamin Sesko’s arrival at Old Trafford caused Hojlund to reject the pecking order and consider his performance for the Red Devils, and it wasn’t surprising to see them considering selling the sale.
Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam used to call Hojlund a “very good player”.
