Manchester United fans believe Rasmus Hojlund will soon be arriving at Old Trafford after he was left out of Atalanta's pre-season side to face AFC Bournemouth.
Erik ten Hag announced this week the Reds were making progress on signing a new No.9 and admitted after the 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid, United were 'absolutely' in need of a striker. Hojlund is Ten Hag's top target this summer amid Tottenham's refusal to sell Harry Kane to a Premier League rival.
