Manchester United will increase their pursuit of Atalanta attacker Rasmus Hojlund following their agreement to buy Inter’s Andre Onana.
After negotiations with Atalanta, United want to focus on trying to sign Hojlund. According to the Guardian, the Italian club will tell the Red Devils that they will have to pay €70 million (£60 million/$78 million) if they want to recruit the 20-year-old this summer. United had hoped to offer players in any future deal, but Atalanta have said unequivocally that they are not interested.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Manager Erik ten Hag is hoping for more signings after adding Mason Mount to his squad with the Red Devils close to completing a deal for Onana. The goalkeeper is set to sign a five-year deal with United and is expected to take part in the team’s pre-season tour. Onana replaces David De Gea who has departed after his contract expired.
AND WHAT’S MORE: United also want to add another midfielder in the summer transfer window. Sofyan Amrabat has emerged as a target but the Red Devils may have to offload players first. Bayern’s Leon Goretzka has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
