Manchester United's pursuit of a top-quality striker has hit a roadblock as both Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur and Victor Osimhen from Napoli seem out of reach. Reports suggest that Spurs have declined any potential deal with the Red Devils, while the £150 million price tag on Osimhen has proven too steep for Manchester United to match.
In light of these setbacks, the club has shifted their attention to Atalanta's rising star, Hojlund. However, their initial bid of £31 million has been rejected by the Italian side. Undeterred, Manchester United is now preparing a second bid of £40 million for the talented Danish forward.
Hojlund, a promising 20-year-old, showcased his abilities in the previous season by appearing in 42 matches across all competitions for Atalanta. During this time, he netted 16 goals and provided seven assists, making him an enticing prospect for Manchester United.
Financial constraints imposed by the Financial Fair Play regulations have left Manchester United with limited resources. After potentially securing a deal for Mason Mount, the club will be left with a mere £65 million to address their needs for both a striker and a goalkeeper.
In addition to their striker search, Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, is actively seeking a goalkeeper to fill the void left by the departing David De Gea, whose contract is expiring. Several names have been linked to the club, with Andre Onana of Inter emerging as a prominent candidate for the role.
