Manchester United are set to make an opening offer for center forward Rasmus Hojlund after clinching a deal to sign goalkeeper Andre Onana yesterday.
Hojlund, 20, has quickly emerged as United manager Erik Ten Hag’s first choice option to fill the number nine position at Old Trafford next season after stop-gap Wout Weghorst left the club at the end of his loan spell last month.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils can now fully concentrate on the young Dane after their six-week-long saga regarding their new number one finally came to an end yesterday following Onana’s $56.6m switch.

Hojlund is thought to have already agreed terms with the Red Devils ahead of United’s first bid which is expected to be in the region of $67m.
Ten Hag will be keen to get a deal done as swiftly as possible, however, with French giants Paris Saint-Germain reportedly also circling around the Atalanta hitman.
