  • Man Utd target Atalanta's Hojlund
  • Focus on resolving striker issues
  • No negotiations for Mbappe or Kane

WHAT HAPPENED: United have been keen on securing the services of striker Hojlund for a number of weeks. The club is determined to address its long-standing issues up front, and the Danish star has emerged as a prime target. However, negotiations over the transfer fee have been protracted, causing some delay in finalising the deal.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Despite speculation linking United with high-profile stars like Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe, who is available for transfer, and Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur, the club's primary focus remains on securing Hojlund from Atalanta, according to Fabrizio Romano.

AND WHAT'S MORE: United had considered Frankfurt's Randal Kolo-Muani as an alternative target. However, they are now expected to push for the Hojlund deal once again in the coming week, signalling their commitment to landing the Atalanta forward.
