Is Rasmus Højlund the closest striker clone to Haaland?

‘He’s the closest thing you can try to clone to Erling Haaland’ Man United’s target. Apparently Atalanta will now demand closer to €100 Million, don’t know how much truth there is to it but if it’s true then walk away. I thought even 50 Million was a little too much for a 20 year old who scored like 8-9 in the league, 100 Million will probably get us Kane.

To even be likened to Erling Haaland, you need to be truly special. But that is what is happening to 20-year-old Rasmus Hojlund. Manchester United are heavily linked with the young Dane and Erik ten Hag has made it clear that signing a centre-forward is a priority this summer.

But how fair are comparisons between the two players Haaland vs Hojlund?

Haaland combines pace, power and physicality like few ever have in world football. He’s 6-foot-5 but explosively quick and deceptively delicate when he needs to be. By no means is the Manchester City No. 9 your stereotypical big man centre-forward who relies on his height and physique.

“The monent we start thinking we need a haaland clone we already lost; we just need to buy a striker that can score us 20 or 30 plus goals regularly and consistently”, SportsFila.com has been told by a United fan.

Rasmus Hojlund is making it rather difficult to downplay his performances, TheAthletic pointed out.

The 20-year-old’s ascent from the Danish Superliga to Serie A — via the Austrian Bundesliga — has been sharp and was punctuated by five goals in two international games for Denmark during Euro 2024 qualifying in March, including a hat-trick in a 3-1 win against Finland.

With 32-year-old Duvan Zapata and 31-year-old Luis Muriel entering the twilight of their careers, Hojlund represents a new attacking era for Gian Piero Gasperini’s forward line, alongside Ademola Lookman — who himself is having the best season of his career with 13 Serie A goals and five assists.

David McKenna: Close to Haaland?? Are you joking, Haaland was scoring goals for fun when he was 16, he was top goalscorer in Germany for a few seasons before he was Højlunds age. As for the asking fee, give us a break. I bet none of these pundits who call themselves EXPERTS ever heard of Højlund 4-months ago, but we heard about Haaland when he was 15-years-old.

According to the Athletic, Hojlund has this spirit, energy, intensity, but also the technical quality that is just remarkable. He still has so much margin for improvement, too.

He has very similar characteristics to Haaland. He is so quick, he’s under 11 seconds over 100m and that’s not even trying very hard. Considering his height, he has a low centre of gravity. I am convinced he’ll have a great career, he just gets stronger every day.

Inter Milan end interest in signing Romelu Lukaku

Sky Italy are reporting that Inter Milan have ended their interest in signing Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.

Inter agree a fee with Chelsea then Lukaku starts talking with Juventus behind Inters back. Snaking the club he snaked Chelsea for. Causing enemies everywhere he goes.

He has been a problem to Chelsea several times, to MU, to Everton, why not to Inter? And Juve is the next in line. He puts his ego over a club and its fans. Balotelli type.

Romelu Lukaku Confused about His Future

Inter have informed Chelsea that they no longer wish to pursue the signing of striker Romelu Lukaku, 90min SOURCES have told SportsFila.com.

The two clubs spent months negotiating in the hope of seeing Lukaku return to Inter on a permanent basis and an agreement was close to being struck before talks completely collapsed on Friday evening.

A large part of Inter’s willingness to keep negotiating with Chelsea was their belief that Lukaku was only focused on joining them. The Belgian has already rebuffed advances from Saudi Arabia and told Inter that a return to San Siro was the only thing on his mind.

Romelu Lukaku Confused about His Future

LUKAKU and pogba in the same team will be stinking.🙄🙄 Man utd vibes

Inter getting a taste of their own medicine playing hard ball with Man Utd now Chelsea playing with them.

Where will Romelu Lukaku play his football next season. Inter Milan won’t be signing him on a permanent basis, Chelsea won’t welcome him back to the squad and the player doesn’t want to be there.

He’s in a crossroads in his career right now. Romelu Lukaku’s move to Chelsea from Inter Milan 2 years ago, is one of the worst values for money ever and was a bad transfer for both parties that will unfortunately end up being one of the worst transfers in football history, because you signed him for 117 million and then not only does he flop, he was sent out on loan back to his former club in Serie A, and now that he’s back as a Chelsea player, he won’t play for the club ever again.

Are Chelsea Missing Lukaku, Timo Werner and Tuchel?

His transfer to Chelsea, the fact that he was expensive and was on the books of the club and he technically didn’t play for them last season, it tells you how poor their transfer business is getting expensive players for a lot of money just for them to flop and they’ll continue paying huge transfer fees and it also tells you how poor of a club Chelsea have been ran recently. What club is he going to Juventus or Saudi Arabia, it’s either one of those 2 for Romelu Lukaku right now.

“Juventus wanted me before Inter, but when Conte joined Inter it was my priority to join them. In Italy, there’s only Inter for me.”

The Blues had demanded €40million (£34.3m) for the Belgian this transfer window, despite signing him for £97m just two years ago.

And Inter were prepared to pay £26m before Juventus became interested with reports they were happy to stump up the asking price.

They were also willing to pay Lukaku more in wages than Inter Milan, leading to a limbo situation between all three clubs.

The Nerazzurri then could not get hold of Lukaku, which left the club ‘annoyed’ and ‘deeply disappointed’ by his behaviour, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

Breaking News: Man United Agrees Deal to Sign new keeper Onana

Onana Terms Agreed! | Man United News. MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed personal terms with Inter Milan star Andre Onana, according to reports available to SportsFila.com.

The goalkeeper is their number one transfer priority after completing the signing of Mason Mount.

The right thing to do after signing onana is to contact DeGea and clarify what he wants to do.
Maybe he doesn’t want to move away from united and doesn’t mind being no.2.
I hope the new owners replace all the jokers on the board with competent people that will bring this club back to its glory days.

Andre Onana has agreed personal terms with Manchester United as the Red Devils intensify pursuit of the Inter Milan goalkeeper, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports.

Andre Onana inches near Old Trafford Move

It is understood that Red Devils boss, Erik ten Hag, has placed Onana his number-one choice to replace David de Gea, who is now out of contract.

Onana retired from International Football after his tiff with Song but will definitely return at some point (AFCON is every two years)

It will be good to have another experienced keeper either to back up or compete with De Gea case he remains in the club. But one thing is that if you sign a player and do not give him play times, the talent begin to dwindle and diminish. Please balance up play time for all the players one you get and need to benefit from their services.

De Gea is my favourite goalkeeper of all time. But this contract could’ve been signed months ago, as a result it wasn’t and his form fell off in crucial moments/games in the last couple months of the season. We needed a new goalkeeper and I don’t think you can justify having a number 2 on 200k a week.

This is How Mason Mount Will Fit Into United Formation Tactics

The latest bid was worth £38.5 million plus a further £4.2 million in add-ons and bonuses.

Inter are, however, holding out for €55m (£47m) for the 27-year-old and chances are viable that all parties will reach an agreement in the coming days.

While that remains in the pipeline, United have been speaking to Onana and have verbally agreed personal terms with the goalkeeper.

According to thesun, Inter are reportedly holding out for a little more than £50m, which would stretch the Red Devils transfer budget.

However Romano claims Inter could reduce their asking price to £47m to get the deal done, with the Serie A giants targeting Romelu Lukaku on a permanent deal.

SunSport understand Chelsea have no interest in sending him out on loan again.

United will hope to have the Onana deal wrapped up by the time they head off on their US tour on July 20.

United Sends Bid for Rasmus Hojlund: the missing piece of the puzzle

Published

Credit: UnitedPeoplesTV/ United Sends Bid for Rasmus Hojlund: the missing piece of the puzzle

Rasmus Hojlund is linked with Manchester United, And Here SportsFila Looks looks at whether he’s the missing piece to the puzzle for United.

Hojlund would be a smart move tbh, even if he scores 10/15 goals it will be enough to take United to the next level.

Manchester United are looking to continue their transfer plans for the summer by striking a deal with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund, 90minutes sources briefed SportsFila.com.

Manager Erik ten Hag has identified a new centre forward among his top priorities, with Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen initially targeted. United were priced out of signing both players but have now turned their attention to Hojlund, who has also been on their radar for some time.

Is Rasmus Højlund the closest striker clone to Haaland?

Still only 20, Hojlund only joined Atalanta last August from Austrian outfit Sturm Graz. He hit nine goals in his debut Serie A season and has also made his senior international debut for Denmark over the last year, scoring five times in six caps to date.

The young man has talent, but is raw and still about 3-4 years away from reaching his peak. He needs to go to a club where he will be allowed that patience. He will NOT be allowed that patience at United. He will be expected to produce within a year and if he doesn’t then the pressure will mount and any number of players have had their careers ruined by making the move to the big highly pressurized impatient club, too soon. Their development is rushed, they don’t produce, they lose confidence and never come close to fulfilling their full potential.

Rasmus Hojlund is an incredible talent, I’ve seen some similarities between him and Erling Haaland, the way both of them play they have similar styles. Last season he scored 10 goals which is great for a 20 year old striker because he still has room for improvement and he isn’t the finished article yet. He’s great for the long term project at Manchester United, but will they go for a player for a lot of money that’s not proven and experienced enough at this level.

Hojlund has previously admitted he is a United fan, saying earlier this year: “I will not hide the fact that I am a huge Man Utd fan. So, personally, [playing for them] would be one of the biggest things for me.”

Meet Rasmus Hojlund: Ten Hag’s Man Utd Potential Haaland

Apart from Man Utd, Juventus and Napoli are also interested in signing Hojlund.

As well as the deal for Mount, United are looking to address their goalkeeping situation this summer having seen David de Gea’s contract expire last Friday. The Spaniard is still considering an offer to extend his stay, but there are doubts over his status as long-term number one.

United have been interested in Inter’s Andre Onana to replace him, while Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow has also been considered.

They need to sign a striker, because they cannot sign Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen, both of them are too expensive and right now they believe that they can sign Rasmus Hojlund and he’s promising and he’s still raw, you’re paying lots of money for a guy who’s inexperienced in European football to lead the line for Manchester United and he scored 10 goals last season, is he really ready for a club of the caliber of Manchester United. They might as well sign him because I don’t want them going for another Wout Weghorst and since other options are too expensive they believe he’s their best alternative option on the market.

As a united fan, we really need him. Not only because he is raw good talent but he can improve. But he is not missing puzzle piece. We need actually 2 strikers to even compete. We need another defensive minded midfielder. Our midfield is too attacking that makes it hard to play away from home.
