Manchester United Considers Rasmus Hojlund Exit Amid Napoli, AC Milan Interest

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is facing a likely exit from Old Trafford after a disappointing second season, with the club seeking to accelerate his departure. Despite Hojlund's stated desire to stay and fight for his place, Manchester United has left him out of the squad and is reportedly willing to accept around £30-40 million for his transfer. Napoli, AC Milan, and Atalanta have all shown interest, with Napoli reportedly negotiating a loan deal with an option to buy, while AC Milan is pursuing a loan deal including an obligation to buy, making Hojlund their primary target. Hojlund's move to AC Milan or Napoli is seen as a return to Serie A, where he had his best performances with Atalanta, but Manchester United's acquisition of Benjamin Sesko and lack of European football have limited Hojlund's playing opportunities. The transfer saga highlights the challenges Hojlund has faced in meeting expectations at Manchester United, despite early promise and comparisons to Erling Haaland during his time in Italy. Meanwhile, Napoli's pursuit is partly driven by Romelu Lukaku's injury, increasing their need for a striker.
