It was only a matter of time before the player officially signed for Manchester United. After a great season at Atalanta, Rasmus Hojlund was a coveted striker. The Danish international (6 goals in 6 caps) was particularly in the sights of the Red Devils who had been looking for a number 9 for several seasons now. Very quickly, Hojlund expressed his desire to join the Premier League and Erik ten Hag despite the interest of other clubs.
PSG, looking for a starting striker, also tried to snatch him and an offer had even been made by the capital club. But the player, although flattered by the Parisian offer, wanted to join Manchester United. And as we revealed to you in recent days, there was almost nothing missing for the two parties to agree on a 5-year contract (+ 1 year as an option).
65 million plus 10 bonuses
Today, Manchester United has finally formalized the arrival of its striker. “Rasmus Højlund has joined Manchester United on a contract running until June 2028, with an option of a further year, subject to international clearance.” can we read in the press release of the English club, published on the official website.
By recovering Rasmus Hojlund, Manchester United offers itself a nice reinforcement which will still have cost nearly 75 million euros (65 million euros + 10 million euros in bonus). A sufficient reinforcement to hope to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal next season while Chelsea will obviously be one to watch. Last season, Rasmus Hojlund scored 10 goals and provided 4 assists in 34 matches.
