The Old Trafford team has received a lot of attention from big teams with the Danish striker. Notably, AC Milan was once said to be very eager to own Hojlund but "turned around" 180 degrees with this deal.
On the evening of August 21, AC Milan officially abandoned their plan to pursue Hojlund and replaced him with Victor Boniface - the striker who has shone brilliantly in the Bundesliga in the past 2 seasons.
Thus, in the summer transfer window of 2025, the Rossoneri are no longer a potential destination for Hoijlund. From another perspective, this is also a signal showing the caution of big teams when considering investing in the player born in 2003, the striker who has not been in good form last season.
Having joined Man United in the summer of 2023 for more than 70 million Euros, Hojlund is expected to become a key attacking spearhead. Despite having impressive moments, especially in the European arena, instability has made it difficult for him to maintain his form.
In the 2024-2025 season, under Erik ten Hag and new Ruben Amorim, Hojlund has only scored 4 goals in 32 appearances in the Premier League. Man United's recruitment of additional attacking stars such as Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha has put him under even greater pressure.
Although AC Milan has withdrawn, Hojlund has not completely "losed value" in the market. Some Bundesliga and Ligue 1 teams are said to be eyeing him.
Notably, Napoli have expressed interest in the striker born in 2003 after Romelu Lukaku suffered a long-term injury. However, up to this point, no club has really sent an official offer to Man United.
According to many writers close to Man United, the team's leadership has no intention of selling Hojlund this summer. Ruben Amorim still appreciates the Danish striker's progress, especially his training attitude and adaptability.
Man United believes that Hojlund can be an important factor in rotating Sesko. In some matches, Amorim even calculated the ability to use a two-man formation, where Hojlund would pair up with Sesko to take advantage of his speed and strength.
In fact, last summer, Rasmus Hojlund also expressed his determination to stay at Old Trafford even though he was no longer given priority to start. The striker has said he wants to stay and fight for his position regardless of the situation. This has caused Man United to lose many stocks to sell in recent times.
Hojlund is at the crossroads of his career. If he continues to strive, perfect his finishing skills and stabilize his form, he can completely regain the trust of Ruben Amorim and Man United fans.
On the contrary, if Sesko, Cunha or Mbeumo continue to overwhelm him, the possibility of Hojlund becoming a redundant player and having to leave Old Trafford in the summer of 2026 is entirely possible. At that time, his transfer value could drop significantly. That is certainly not what Man United want.
Hojlund's future at Old Trafford is very uncertain as Man United also need money to recruit more players in the final days of the transfer window.
In fact, the "Red Devils" are prioritizing the addition of 1 midfielder and 1 goalkeeper but most of them are not redundant. Therefore, players like Hojlund may suddenly part ways with the "Red Devils" when they receive a reasonable offer.
