Man Utd Nears £40m Rasmus Hojlund Sale Amid AC Milan Transfer Interest

Rasmus Hojlund's future at Manchester United is increasingly uncertain following the club's signing of Benjamin Sesko, which has intensified competition for the striker position. Despite Hojlund's insistence on staying and fighting for his place, Manchester United appears ready to move him on, with AC Milan leading interest in a potential loan deal that includes a €45 million option to buy. Hojlund's performances over two seasons have failed to justify his £72 million transfer fee, resulting in a diminished role and recent benching during pre-season matches. United is reportedly seeking to recoup around £30-40 million from his departure, which would represent a significant loss compared to his original cost. The negotiation has been complicated by Hojlund's reluctance to accept a move that might not guarantee a permanent transfer, though the club has communicated to him that regular playing time will require leaving Old Trafford. With five Italian clubs interested, including AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, and Napoli, Hojlund's return to Serie A seems increasingly likely as United prioritizes restructuring their attacking options.
