Manchester United has struck a sensational deal with Serie A side Atalanta, bagging the talented Danish striker, Rasmus Hojlund, in a jaw-dropping £72m agreement. This 20-year-old rising star has been making waves with his impressive performances, netting 10 goals in 34 appearances for Atalanta during the 2022-2023 season. United’s manager, Erik Ten Hag, couldn’t resist the allure of Hojlund’s skills and swiftly secured him for Old Trafford.
The young striker’s contract with Manchester United spans five years, with the option for an additional season, highlighting the club’s dedication to nurturing his immense potential. This move reflects United’s strategic approach to strengthening their attacking prowess for the long haul.
Ten Hag’s hunt for attacking talent has yielded excellent results this summer, with Hojlund joining as the third major signing. The club has already secured the services of Chelsea’s midfield maestro, Mason Mount, for £55m and Inter Milan’s star goalkeeper, Andre Onana, for £47.2m. Such ambitious moves have propelled Manchester United’s summer spending to a staggering minimum of £166.2m, with the potential to rise to an astonishing £180m.
Hojlund’s stellar performances caught the attention of United’s management, making him the top choice for the striking position. The decision to pursue him marked a change of course from the pursuit of Tottenham’s Harry Kane, whose acquisition was deemed overly expensive and logistically complex.
