Antonio Conte loves his underrated or redundant Man United players. Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez as Inter Milan coach, Scott McTominay and most recently Rasmus Hojlund at Napoli. The young Dane was weighed too lightly at Old Trafford in the summer and replaced with Sesko. In his debut match under Conte’s leadership, things loosened up in front of the opponents’ goal for the 22-year-old. Not only at club level (4 goals in 6 games), but also on the Danish national team (4 goals). Now there will finally be a solution for Højlund.
The Danish international striker is still a Man Utd player on loan for the season, with Napoli having a €44 million purchase obligation activated this summer – if Napoli qualify for the Champions League.

According to the Mirror, the Napoli management has made up their minds. Already. The Serie A giants clearly do not need assurance that they actually qualify for the CL, Rasmus Hojlund will be part of the permanent squad as early as January.
The English newspaper claims that the Italians have asked United about the possibility of completing the transfer in January, and it is believed that the Red Devils have given the thumbs up.

Here it is clear that Conte and Napoli have seen the potential of the 22-year-old and are not taking any chances on losing him. Excellent for Hojlund, Napoli and also Man United (who have written off the Dane).
