English Premier League side Manchester United have placed their striker Rasmus Hojlund up for sale. According to reports, the player will go for £30m. The Denmark striker scored twice against Bournemouth in Chicago on Wednesday.
After the game was asked of his intension as the club is looking to sign a new striker, the player said his intention was to remain at United. Apparently, United have shown interest in signing RB Leipzig’s Slovenia forward Benjamin Sesko.
Manchester United are not the only club looking for the player as Newcastle are also keen on Sesko but are yet to strike a deal. United are waiting to decide their next move and there have been reports the player would prefer a switch to Old Trafford.
United sources are adamant they could do a deal before selling players. But it is accepted that there would have to be exits to ensure they remain compliant with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. Should the club sign Sesko, Hojlund would be marginalised.
And if Hojlund was sold for £30m, it would be a loss for United given the forward’s ‘book value’ is £43m as he is two years into the five-year contract he signed. United have spent almost £130m this summer on Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
