Eager to afford Rasmus Hojlund, Manchester United fails to align hard with the amounts requested by Atalanta Bergamo.
3rd in the Premier League and back in the Champions League, Manchester United has already started to strengthen on the transfer market by recruiting Mason Mount (€64m) and André Onana (€52m). But the Red Devils are still looking to strengthen their attack as Anthony Martial is the only professional striker in Erik Ten Hag’s squad.

For this, the Mancunian leaders have set their sights on Rasmus Hojlund (20 years old). The Atalanta Bergamo striker, who scored 10 goals last season, is considered by many to be the new Haaland, even if he is Danish and not Norwegian. But the Italian club is not ready to let its nugget slip away so easily. This Tuesday, the Times reports that Manchester United are unwilling to match the €100m demanded by Atalanta and are unwilling to spend more than €70m to afford Hojlund.
