The struggles of Manchester United’s €75m star Rasmus Hojlund have been well-documented, and it appears that his time at Old Trafford may be coming to an end. According to ESPN, two Serie A giants, AC Milan and Juventus, have expressed interest in signing the Danish forward, who has failed to live up to expectations since his big-money move from Atalanta in 2023.
Hojlund’s debut season at Manchester United was promising, with the young striker scoring 16 goals in 43 games across all competitions. However, his form has nosedived this season, with just two goals in 18 Premier League appearances. The pressure and criticism have taken their toll, and it seems that Manchester United are now willing to cut their losses and sell the player.
The interest from AC Milan and Juventus is not surprising, given Hojlund’s reputation as a talented young striker. Both clubs have a history of signing top players from around the world, and they may see Hojlund as a potential bargain given his struggles at Manchester United. However, it is worth noting that Hojlund is not at the top of their shortlist, and they may only consider a move if their preferred transfer targets fall through.
The potential sale of Hojlund would be a significant blow to Manchester United, who paid a hefty €75m fee to sign him just over a year ago. The club’s hierarchy may be forced to take a significant loss on the player, which would be a major embarrassment given the high expectations that surrounded his arrival.
