Manchester United are on the hunt for a new defensive midfielder in the dying embers of the summer transfer window.
'Cocky' - what to expect from Rasmus Hojlund after Manchester United transfer
02.08.2023 - 09:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Sturm Graz manager Christian Ilzer has described Rasmus Hojlund as "self-confident" and "cocky" ahead of him finalising his move to Manchester United.
Hojlund arrived in the UK on Tuesday afternoon, being pictured leaving Manchester Airport in a chauffeur-driven people carrier at around 4pm. United reached an agreement with Atalanta to sign the Danish international on Saturday for a fee that could rise to £72million.
The Reds, who face RC Lens in their penultimate pre-season friendly at Old Trafford on Saturday, will pay a guaranteed £64m plus a further £8m in possible performance-related add-ons in the future. Manager Erik ten Hag earmarked Hojlund as his primary striker target several weeks ago after holding video calls with the youngster.
Though the 20-year-old is inexperienced, United are confident that they are signing a future star, who can blossom under Ten Hag's management and coaching methods. Hojlund joined Atalanta from Austrian side Sturm Graz last August and scored ten goals in 34 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A club.
The transfer window is in full swing and United have already got their hands on two players, with Mason Mount and Andre Onana through the door at Old Trafford and Rasmus Hojlund set to follow.
