Rasmus Hojlund was left out of the official squad for the friendly match against Fiorentina, where Man United beat their opponents on penalties. Despite not having any center forward, Ruben Amorim still did not name Hojlund, showing that the Danish striker's future at Old Trafford is considered over.
Among the teams that can welcome Hojlund at the moment, AC Milan is the most suitable destination. The Rossoneri will not play in the European Cup next season, so the pressure on the whole team will be reduced, suitable for a player who needs a space to reduce suffocation to find himself like Hojlund.
Man United is now in a state of being ready to sell Hojlund and no longer just want to lend as before. Although the Danish international is not on the list of players to be urgently liquidated (including Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia), if any team wins 30 million pounds to negotiate, Man United could immediately nod.
Only when they cannot sell Hojlund at this price, can Man United consider lending their striker. However, this loan will certainly have broken terms like the Jadon Sancho case with Chelsea. In addition to the appearance of Benjamin Sesko, Man United "showed all their might" with Hojlund's harmlessness on the pitch. Therefore, they want to kick him out of Old Trafford as soon as possible.
Hojlund's salary at Man United is at 110,000 pounds/week. If any club wants to borrow the 22-year-old striker, they will have to help the Manchester club pay that salary to Hojlund. This is a huge pressure if Milan "takes advantage" of the Danish striker because this figure is highly appreciated compared to the average salary of the team.
If he can come to AC Milan, Hojlund will be returned to the Serie A environment, where he saw his good form for Atalanta, before joining Manchester United. Serie A is less pressured than the Premier League and also has a slower pace, making it easier for Hojlund to adapt back to the current style of play.
Last month, there was information that Inter Milan expressed interest in Rasmus Hojlund but in the end they gave up because of unreasonable prices. The Nerazzurri then moved to Ange-Yoann Bonny from AC Parma. As for Hojlund, he has never announced that he will leave Man United, but the current situation does not allow the 22-year-old star to have the right to choose anymore.
Hojlund wanted to stay to compete with Sesko but Amorim was no longer interested in including the Danish striker in the squad. Hojlund should understand that at the age of 22, he needs to play football and shine, thereby being able to increase his value and have more opportunities in the national team. Denmark is likely to participate in the 2026 World Cup, so if they just "hammer" at Man United and lose this opportunity, that price is too expensive for Hojlund.
Rasmus Hojlund joined Man United in the summer of 2023 for £65 million. Last season, he scored just 10 goals in all competitions, including a 21-game winless streak between mid-December and mid-March. In the 2024-2025 Premier League, Hojlund has only scored 4 goals. Hojlund's achievements contributed to the disaster for Man United last season when they finished 15th, scoring 44 goals in the Premier League, the worst in the league era.
