The Denmark international moved to Old Trafford from Atalanta in 2023 as part of a transfer package that was worth up to £72 million ($96m) - with a base fee of £64m ($85m) included in that deal. He is just two years into a five-year contract with the Red Devils.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
It is already being suggested that Hojlund could be moved on. That is because he has registered 26 goals through 95 appearances for United, with only four Premier League goals being recorded in the 2024-25 campaign.
DID YOU KNOW?
United have already spent big on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo this summer, with RB Leipzig frontman Benjamin Sesko said to be in their sights after missing out on the likes of Liam Delap, Viktor Gyokeres, Hugo Ekitike and Victor Osimhen.

Funds need to be generated in order to make further additions, with the Daily Mail reporting that Hojlund is among those up for sale. He has been linked with teams in Italy and is said to have seen his price tag dropped to just £30m ($40m).
WHAT NEXT FOR HOJLUND?
Hojlund has said during the Red Devils’ pre-season tour of the United States that "my plan is very clear and that is for me to stay and fight for my spot whatever happens." Ruben Amorim said of the 22-year-old forward: "I am really happy with Rasmus, but I don't know what is going to happen until the end of the market."
