AC Milan make Rasmus Hojlund move! Serie A giants bid to sign Man Utd striker on loan - but face uphill battle to convince Dane

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports that Milan have discussed the financial details for a possible Hojlund loan, which includes covering his estimated £110,000-per-week wages. The Serie A side are keen to bring the striker back to Italy, where he shone for Atalanta. However, Hojlund has shown no intention of leaving United at this stage.

It had been reported on Saturday that United are open to a deal due to their strengthened attacking options. The arrivals of Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, plus the versatility of Bryan Mbeumo, have further limited Hojlund’s opportunities. With Joshua Zirkzee also available, the Dane faces a real battle for game time under Ruben Amorim.

It has been made very clear that Amorim is not planning to rely on Hojlund, as the Danish striker was not afforded a single minute of play in Saturday's pre-season friendly with Fiorentina. Mason Mount was instead given the start in a false nine, with Amorim praising his efforts up top.

AC Milan are expected to continue talks in the hope of changing Hojlund’s mind. United will monitor the situation closely, knowing a deal could free up funds for other areas.
