Fabrizio Romano Claims Man Utd Will Bid For Rasmus Hojlund ‘Soon’ As Hijack Fear Emerges

Manchester United will submit a bid for Rasmus Hojlund ‘soon’ due to fears over another club entering the race to sign him, according to Fabrizio Romano.

United have been linked with a move for the 20-year-old striker throughout the window, but now appear to be speeding up their pursuit due to late interest from the Ligue 1 champions.

Atalanta’s asking price is believed to be around €70 million, with Italian outlet Calciomercato claiming that, although the Italian club are not opposed to Hojlund leaving, they will not budge from their valuation.

That may cause an issue for United, who have a limited transfer budget this summer due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) concerns.

They have already committed in excess of £100 million to sign Mason Mount and Andre Onana, with The Athletic claiming earlier this year that their total budget would stand at £100 million.
