Manchester United bet big on Rasmus Hojlund in 2023. The young striker should not be blamed for United’s slump in the Premier League, but 14 goals in 62 Premier League games is far from what the club needs. This week, United have put their money on a Slovenian 22-year-old at the top, but reports have emerged that Hojlund is set to stay and fight for the spot. This does not suit the United management after spending over 75 million euros on Sesko signing, the Dane has received a message that cannot be misinterpreted.
According to English journalist Ben Jacobs, Hojlund has now received a clear message from the United management to leave the club if he is to have any hope of playing time in the coming season. This has made Højlund and his agent reluctant to accept, reports Jacob. On Saturday, the Dane got a taste of this with ninety minutes on the bench in the friendly against Fiorentina, while midfielder Mason Mount was pushed onto the pitch.

United were previously determined to sell the 22-year-old to secure the necessary sales revenue, but have dropped the list, and will now also open for rental this season. AC Milan have had a delegation in Manchester this week to take advantage of the opportunity with a redundant Danish striker, but assume a lease agreement with an option to buy at a “nice price”.
What should be clear is that Rasmus Hojlund is done at Man Utd, regardless of how much he wants to show the supporters he cracks the code in the Premier League this season.
