Napoli have initiated fresh transfer talks with Manchester United outcast Rasmus Hojlund, as they look to replace the injured Romelu Lukaku in their squad. Hojlund has been part of Amorim's 'bomb squad' since the start of United's pre-season and with Benjamin Sesko's arrival at the club, it is evident that the Danish forward no longer features in the United coach's plans.
Scott McTominay could not hide his admiration for Kevin De Bruyne after Napoliâs 2-0 win over Sassuolo, where both midfielders found the back of the net. The former Manchester United star hailed the Belgian as a 'great guy' and even admitted he is the one seeking advice, despite being last season's Serie A MVP. De Bruyne marked his league debut with a trademark free-kick goal.
Ruben Amorim hinted that Rasmus Hojlund might feature for Manchester United against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup in midweek, despite being linked with a move back to Italy. Hojlund, who fell out of favour at Old Trafford, has attracted interest from Serie A champions Napoli, who are willing to sign the Danish forward on loan with an option to buy.
Italian champions Napoli have emerged as a surprise contender to sign out-of-favour Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo this summer. Mainoo, who is struggling for game time under Ruben Amorim, is open to the idea of leaving Old Trafford in this window. The youngster is keen on playing in the Champions League this season, something Napoli will guarantee.
Kobbie Mainoo reportedly wants a transfer to Napoli, but Manchester United are blocking an exit due to the success of Scott McTominay. A ÂŁ50 million ($67m) deal is being discussed and the Italian champions are ready to offer a four-year deal for the youngster.
Rasmus Hojlund could reportedly join Scott McTominay at Napoli after Manchester United agreed a deal with the Serie A giants. The deal is said to involve a season-long loan, with a âŹ44million (ÂŁ38m/$51.4m) obligation to buy, coupled with a loan fee, should Napoli secure Champions League qualification. However, the young striker, still 22, has not yet committed to the move.
Rasmus Hojlund was greeted by wild scenes in Italy as the Manchester United striker arrived to complete his medical ahead of a loan move to Napoli. The 22-year-old has been left out of all four of Unitedâs competitive games this season but is now set for a fresh start. His loan includes a conditional obligation to buy for ÂŁ38 million should Napoli qualify for next seasonâs Champions League.
Manchester United full-back Patrick Dorgu admitted that he was shocked to see compatriot Rasmus Hojlund leave the club this summer. The Danish forward left for Napoli on loan on the deadline day after being deemed surplus to Ruben Amorim's needs. The loan deal also gives Napoli a chance to sign the striker permanently next summer for a fee of âŹ44 million (ÂŁ38m/$51m).
Kobbie Mainoo has reportedly had concerns over his Manchester United future for months as the midfielder eyes a January exit. Mainoo was once hailed as the heartbeat of Unitedâs next generation, but fast-forward to September 2025, and the 20-year-old is facing the harshest dilemma of his young career: fight for scraps at Old Trafford or walk away temporarily to save his England dreams.
Manchester United fans couldn't believe that Rasmus Hojlund scored on his Napoli debut against Fiorentina after his Old Trafford exit. Antonio Conte pushed hard to bring Hojlund back to Serie A, securing a deal that could become permanent for ÂŁ38 million ($51m) if the Italian champions secure Champions League football next season. Early signs suggest that wager could prove to be a masterstroke.
Napoli head coach Antonio Conte was effusive in his praise for Rasmus Hojlund after the Danish forward, signed on a season-long loan from Manchester United, contributed to the team's 3-1 win at Fiorentina by scoring on debut. Conte, who managed Chelsea and Tottenham in the Premier League, joked about his former rivals, the Red Devils, and thanked them for letting Napoli sign Hojlund.
Rasmus Hojlund marked his Napoli debut in style as the Manchester United flop scored in a 3-1 Serie A victory over Fiorentina, before expressing his delight at joining what he described as an âincredibleâ team. The Denmark striker joined on loan with a ÂŁ38 million obligation to buy and wasted no time in making an impact for Antonio Conteâs side.
Manchester United players have made their feelings known on Rasmus Hojlund in response to the striker's fast start at Napoli following his loan move. It took him just 14 minutes in a Napoli shirt to do what he so often struggled to do at Old Trafford: score when it mattered.
Gianluigi Donnarumma joked about not taking his mother to the Etihad Stadium for the Champions League opener against Napoli on Thursday. The Manchester City goalkeeper, who arrived at the end of the summer transfer window, revealed that his family members are big supporters of the current Serie A champions. However, he remains determined on helping his new team kick-off their continental campaign with a win.
Peter Schmeichel admits that Antony was ânever good enough for Manchester Unitedâ but the Red Devils legend has questioned why Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund were allowed to leave Old Trafford. The Scotland international midfielder and Danish striker are now team-mates again in Italy at Napoli after surprisingly being deemed surplus to requirements.
Erling Haaland has become the quickest player to reach 50 Champions League goals, after he scored the opener in Manchester City's 2-0 win over Napoli. The Norwegian reached the tally in just 49 games, easily surpassing Ruud van Nistelrooy's previous record. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid marksman reached his half-century in his first 62 appearances in the competition.
