SportsFila hs been told Hojlund could make his United debut in a friendly against Lens on Saturday and will be available for the start of the competitive season – just as Ten Hag wanted. The Red Devils face Wolves at Old Trafford in their opening Premier League encounter on August 14.

ETH said: Rasmus is not yet fully a United player, so I won’t say too much. Of course, we’ve got [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] Rashford at the moment and [Jadon] Sancho, who can play there. But an out-and-out striker is what we need and we’re desperate for one. I’m very sure that the club know that, the manager knows that and us players would love one to come, too.”

Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland

United had been playing with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho up front during pre-season after Wout Weghorst returned to Burnley following the expiry of his six-month loan spell. Anthony Martial is the Red Devils’ only senior striker in the squad, but he has struggled with injuries over the past 12 months and hasn’t been available.

Rasmus Hojlund was only Erik ten Hag’s fifth-choice striker when it came to Man Utd transfer targets this summer.

We have learned that the Dutchman wanted Victor Osimhen, Harry Kane, Dusan Vlahovic and Ivan Toney (before he was banned), respectively, but ended up going for Hojlund.

We have also learned that the Dutchman is under a lot of pressure for this transfer to work for the club, with the club spending £72million on the youngster who is set to undergo a medical ahead of a move from Atalanta.

Sky Sports News senior reporter Melissa Reddy:

“United are conscious that Hojlund is more potential than the finished article, but believe Erik ten Hag’s coaching could help mould him into an elite player.

“Marcus Rashford may need to play some games as United’s focal point while the 20-year-old adjusts and gains experience. Long-term he is seen as a talent that has the potential to become world class under Ten Hag.

“United have now solved the three core squad issues the manager identified: a goalkeeper, forward and dynamic midfielder. This has been done within the budget the club set themselves, which was conditioned by Financial Fair Play regulations.

Fabrizio Romano has named Amrabat as Man Utd’s top next target for the holding midfield position. However, the transfer guru has insisted Man Utd must sell a player or two before they can act for Amrabat.

On that front, Fred, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are all on the chopping block.

Fred is wanted by Fulham and Galatasaray as well as clubs in Saudi Arabia. Elsewhere, Real Sociedad have eyed Van de Beek as a replacement for the recently retired David Silva.

McTominay was courted by West Ham, though Sky Sports suggested Man Utd have priced the Hammers out of a move.

The Daily Mail reports according to SportsFila.com confirming United have already begun contacting agents over moves for a back-up goalkeeper, a depth option at centre-half and a high profile holding midfielder.

Regarding the latter, Southampton’s Romeo Lavia was cited as being on United’s radar. However, with the Belgian having already agreed personal terms with Liverpool, it’s Sofyan Amrabat who is far likely to join Man Utd

Sofyan Amrabat Manchester United interest grows large

Hojlund medical today and Amrabat says ‘yes’

The Athletic report Rasmus Hojlund will undergo his medical with Manchester United today.

The Danish striker, 20, has agreed a move to Old Trafford from Serie A club Atalanta in a deal worth €75million plus €10million in add-ons.

A five-year deal is on the table, with the option of another year.

Hojlund will become boss Erik ten Hag’s third signing of the summer following Mason Mount and Andre Onana’s moves to Manchester.

Rasmus could be quickly followed by the fourth, with Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat said to have rejected late advances from the Middle East and said ‘yes’ to the Red Devils.

Twenty-six-year-old Amrabat worked under ten Hag at FC Utrecht and at £26million looks to be a bargain signing after the Morocco star impressed at last year’s World Cup.

His arrival could see Fred leave the club, with interest from clubs in Turkey.

See what Rasmus Hojlund bring to Manchester United

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen shares his thoughts on potential new signing Rasmus Hojland.

Red Devils’ playmaker Christian Eriksen. Speaking after Man United’s pre-season defeat to Borussia Dortmund, the former Tottenham star said: “What’s he like? He’s a strong No 9.

“He’s developed a lot in the last year from when I first saw him with the national team so, yeah, he’s a very good player. I suppose we don’t get enough media attention in Denmark that’s why, so people outside Denmark don’t know enough,” he added. “He’s a nice guy, he’s a good player. Like I said, he’s developed, turning into just a No.9, which he’s played for the national team.”

Varane is definitely declining out there and injury prone. Lindelof has never really developed or maybe never got the chance but either way his time has seemed to pass, horrible give away yesterday on the goal. Maguire no explanation needed. Our best CB is 5’9 and I know some will say it doesn’t matter. But it does. If I can jump higher than you it matters. If I can hold you off a ball it matters. Is it any surprise Jonny Evans is back from the past? It’s getting bad out there. 3 CBs at least to me. Licha is the only one worth keeping and you can debate on Lindelof possibly finally developing.

Eriksen has revealed exactly what Manchester United will be getting after convincing Rasmus Hojlund to make a switch to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are edging towards a deal for the Atalanta striker. United have agreed a £72m deal with the Serie A outfit in a move that will bring to an end their summer-long search for a new forward.

The deal also represents a huge leap of faith from Erik ten Hag’s side, particularly with the 20-year-old fresh off the back of his debut Serie A campaign. He scored nine goals in the league last season after arriving in Italy from Sturm Graz.

Breaking News: United and Atalanta reaches Rasmus Hojlund Agreement

The highly-rated 20-year-old striker has been identified by those at Old Trafford as the man to fill their No.9 berth in the present and long-term future. Hojlund’s potential is being bought into in a big way, with United preparing to make him the most expensive frontman that they have ever acquired. A hefty transfer fee will lump considerable pressure onto young shoulders, but Eriksen is convinced that his fellow Denmark international has what it takes to thrive with Premier League heavyweights.

WHAT THEY SAID: Eriksen has told PA Sport when asked what Hojlund will bring to the United squad: “What’s he like? He’s a strong number nine. He’s developed a lot in the last year from when I first saw him with the national team (to) a year’s time, so, yeah, he’s a very good player.”
