Rasmus Hojlund: Manchester United signs
Manchester United announced on Saturday, August 5, 2023, that they have signed Rasmus Hojlund
Rasmus Hojlund is from Atalanta, a five-year deal. The transfer fee is reportedly £72m in total – an initial £64m with a further £8m in add-ons.
Hojlund is a 20-year-old Danish striker who has been in impressive form in recent seasons. He scored 19 goals in 30 appearances for Atalanta last season, and he has also been capped by the Denmark national team on 10 occasions.
Hojlund is a tall, strong striker with good dribbling skills and finishing ability. He is also known for his work ethic and his ability to press defenders.
United manager Erik Ten Hag is a big fan of Hojlund, and he believes that the young striker can be a key player for the club in the years to come.
Hojlund is expected to miss the start of the season as he continues his recovery from an injury sustained in pre-season. However, he is expected to be a regular starter for United once he is fully fit.
Hojlund’s signing is a major coup for United, and it shows that the club is serious about rebuilding its squad and challenging for trophies again.
