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.”

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.

Here’s Why Ten Hag Signed Mason Mount

Mason Greenwood Breaks Silence on His Man Utd Future
According to the Mirror, Mason Greenwood wants to stay at Manchester United and has held “positive” talks with club chiefs ahead of a huge decision.
The England international, 21, hasn’t played for United since January 2022 following allegations against him by his partner Harriet and remains unavailable for selection as club chiefs conduct an internal investigation. He was arrested and due to stand trial before all charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February.
Did Mason Greenwood have a baby?
SportsFila is aware Mason and his girlfriend recently became parents to a new baby, whose picture was shared on the couple’s instagram accounts.
His university student girlfriend Harriet Robson recently enjoyed a baby shower where she showed off her blossoming bump.
The Sun understands the £75,000-a-week footballer plans to marry her.
Greenwood has been undergoing one-on-one training sessions in a bid to be fit for the new Premier League season. United’s campaign starts at home to Wolves in just over two weeks’ time, with a decision on Greenwood’s future expected in the coming days.
Ten Hag addresses Mason Greenwood and Man Utd takeover situation
United’s hierarchy – not manager Erik ten Hag – will decide whether Greenwood will remain employed by the club. Yet Ten Hag will be forced to make a decision on how to manage the player if club chiefs decide he can stay. A loan move could be an option.
Adidas are United’s biggest sponsors after signing a ten-year, £750million deal in 2015. It is believed other sponsors are set to follow suit.
A final decision on Greenwood’s future is set to be made before the Prem season starts, with the Red Devils opening against Wolves on August 14.
Is Mason Greenwood set to come back to Man utd Old TRAFFORD?
But Adidas’ intervention may seal a sensational comeback to Old Trafford after weeks of speculation that he could go out on loan.
The striker has been suspended since January 2022 amid his arrest for attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
According to Goal sources, if Greenwood is released, United will need to pay up the final two years of his contract. It’s also important to remember that he was one of the best young footballers in Europe before the allegations were made against him and could be signed by a rival club.
Yet, according to The Sun, Greenwood is confident of being retained by United. It’s claimed there has been “positive” talks between the two parties.
See what Rasmus Hojlund bring to Manchester United
Manchester United kit manufacturer Adidas say they have not held discussions with the club regarding a return for Mason Greenwood, SportsFila understands.
Reports elsewhere on Friday evening claimed that the sportswear giant had approved a potential comeback for the 21-year-old, who still remains suspended by United.
Greenwood has always denied the allegations.

Breaking News: United and Atalanta reaches Rasmus Hojlund Agreement
Analysis: Hojlund has huge potential
Rasmus Hojlund has captured the imagination after an encouraging season in Serie A and Manchester United are betting on the 20-year-old talent to be the next superstar striker in European football. But how can they get the best from the young Dane?
Man Utd tactics demand Hojlund makes penetrative runs in behind the opposition defence. “That needs a lot of sprints and a lot of quick decisions from our strikers, and I think those are big strengths of Rasmus,” Christian Ilzer told Sky Sports as reported by SportsFila.
“I think it was key that our philosophy and style fit his skillset perfectly so he comes into a good environment. Ras is a great addition to our team with his abilities. It is his speed, his general physique and his willingness to work hard against the ball.”
There is a recognition that Højlund’s youth means he is not yet the complete forward but confidence within United’s hierarchy in Ten Hag’s ability to develop the player’s full potential. The manager is impressed with Højlund’s determination to work hard to improve.
United reach a compromise with Atalanta to sign Rasmus Hojlund
Although Højlund is regarded by United primarily as a No 9, Ten Hag would be expected to deploy him across the frontline on occasion, with Marcus Rashford able to operate at centre-forward.
Ten Hag has another No 9 in Anthony Martial but does not feel able to rely on him because the Frenchman is prone to injury. This has put Martial’s future in the balance, although Ten Hag remains impressed with what 27-year-old can offer when fit.
Ten Hag said United’s inability to take their chances in a 2-0 friendly loss to Real Madrid on Thursday “absolutely” emphasised their need for a new striker.
United had chances of their own but failed to score with any of their 14 attempts – an all too familiar tale given their problems taking opportunities last season.
Asked if the attacking display in Texas emphasised why they were looking to sign a new striker, Ten Hag said: “Absolutely.
“There were two things – the pressing can be better from the start and scoring goals.
“I think we need more players who are capable to be in the one-on-ones and we had the situations of one-on-ones.”

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Atalanta for the signing of forward Rasmus Hojlund in a deal worth €75million plus €10million in performance-related add-ons.

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Atalanta over the signing of Rasmus Hojlung.
Fabrizio Romano dropped his favourite ‘here we go line’ on Twitter after evening to mark the announcement that Hojlund will be the next player to join Manchester United this summer.
The Denmark international, 20, will cost United a package of around €70 million including add-ons. Hojlund had alreaqdy agreed a five-year deal with the Reds, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
Breaking News: Time for Anthony Martial To Go
Great signing. Some player. Benny would tend him into world class. Hopefully Rashford replicates last season. Martial would step up his game this season. Defensive midfielder is needed to challenge Casemiro though.
In the realm of football’s grace, a star did rise,
A striker bold with fire in his eyes,
From Denmark’s land, a talent so grand,
Rasmus Højlund, his name forever will stand.’
Is Rasmus Højlund the closest striker clone to Haaland?
In the heart of Manchester, his dreams took flight,
A Red Devil soaring through day and night,
With boots that danced upon the hallowed turf,
He showed the world his skills and worth.
Graceful strides, he weaved through defenders,
With every touch, hearts he would render,
The ball a puppet to his magic feet,
In the face of goal, he’d never retreat.
A thunderous strike, a shot so true,
The net would bulge, the crowd would coo,
The Stretford End erupted with delight,
For Rasmus’ goals, a mesmerizing sight.
Yet, it wasn’t just his goals that stood out,
His spirit and passion left no doubt,
A leader on the pitch, a team’s beating heart,
He played with love, a work of art.
Through ups and downs, he fought the fight,
Through injuries and struggles, his spirit stayed bright,
The fans knew they had a warrior, a friend,
In Rasmus Højlund, on whom they could depend.
The legend of this Dane will forever grow,
In the annals of history, his name will flow,
A Man United hero, a striker suprem
I’m sure given time he’ll be a success at Man Utd but considering he has only played 1 season in topflight football and got outscored by Lookman in the same team is quite concerning, especially with the fee expected to be £55M+
Manchester United have purchased a phenomenal talent here, Atalanta should have held out for more than was paid for Anthony as Hojlund’s ceiling is FAR higher. He has EVERYTHING needed to become a MONSTER number 9.
