Rasmus Hojlund urges Atalanta to sell him to Manchester United

Atalanta Striker Rasmus Hojlund is reportedly pushing for a move to Manchester United, urging his current club to reach an agreement with the Premier League giants. United had an initial bid of £40 million for the Danish international rejected by Atalanta, who are said to value him at nearly double that amount.

Hojlund agreed personal terms with United last month and has been waiting for the two clubs to come to a fee agreement.

However, negotiations have been difficult, with Atalanta refusing to budge on their assessment of the player’s value. This has left Hojlund increasingly anxious, and he has reportedly instructed his agents to push Atalanta to reach an agreement with United.

The 22-year-old Striker has been impressing in Serie A, making 32 appearances and scoring six goals for Atalanta last season.

His versatility, energy, and technical ability have all made him an attractive prospect for United, who are looking to strengthen their midfield options before the start of the new season.

If Hojlund is to secure a move to Old Trafford, it will likely require further negotiations between the two clubs. However, time is running out for United to secure their target, with the transfer window set to close in just a few weeks’ time.

With Hojlund eager to make the move to Manchester, it remains to be seen if Atalanta will be willing to lower their asking price to meet United’s offer. In any case, it seems that the young midfielder is determined to make a move to the Premier League, and United could be the team to give him that opportunity.
