Rasmus Hojlund appears to be staying at Manchester United as clubs looking to sign him are struggling to keep up with the Red Devils' demands. The Danish striker has been linked with a poor start to a season at Old Trafford.
Hojlund scored just four Premier League goals for Man United last season, leading to speculation that the former Atalanta striker could return to Italy. Inter Milan are among the teams linked with Hojlund, while Juventus and Napoli are also said to be interested.
But it seems that Hojlund's return to Serie A is no longer feasible at the moment. According to Italian media, Man United's request for a dissolved buy-to-broke deal has made transfers very difficult.
Man United wants to earn about 40 million pounds for the 22-year-old player, a price that Serie A teams are unlikely to accept. In that context, they could only borrow the Danish striker.
Hojlund has recently spoken out about his future at Old Trafford and confirmed that he wants to stay at the club. "I have a contract until 2030, so I want to play for Manchester United. I hope to have a summer vacation, and then I will devote myself to the ongoing project.
I know I can't learn much from this information. I know the truth, I have a contract with Man United until 2030. I was planning to play there, so I was just preparing for the summer vacation and then hoping for a good season," Hojlund said.
In total, Hojlund has made 95 appearances for the "Red Devils" after moving from Atalanta for £72 million. During that time, he scored only 26 goals.
Former Man United centre-back Phil Jones has suggested that leaving the club could be the best thing for Hojlund's career. "It's difficult, I really feel sorry for Hojlund. It's been a tough season for him.
I think Man United will be looking for another No. 9 player. Maybe that will also ease the pressure on Hojlund a little if he can arrange the playing time between the two number 9 players" - Phil Jones shared.
The Old Trafford team is said to be closely following Viktor Gyokeres, a striker of Sporting Lisbon and Amorim's former player. Man United have not ruled out recruiting the Swedish striker, so Hojlund's future is further questioned.
