.Manchester United are reportedly preparing to send their 'first official offer' for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.
Reds boss Erik ten Hag has made Andre Onana his second signing of the summer at Old Trafford, having snapped up Mason Mount from Chelsea earlier this summer. A centre-forward is now the clear priority for United and transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano (via Football Italia) reports that United are keen to get Hojlund signed.
Romano claims that United want to get a deal done quickly and secure their third addition of the transfer window. The 20-year-old has also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, who are said to have been holding talks with Hojlund's representatives. The Danish forward has reportedly agreed personal terms with United and the Reds must now agree a fee with the Serie A side.
