Manchester United is considering a second £40 million proposal for Atalanta attacker Rasmus Hojlund after ruling out Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen.

After missing out on Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen, Manchester United may make a second bid for Atalanta attacker Rasmus Hojlund.

Manchester United are looking for a great striker and were connected with a move for Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, but Spurs have allegedly refused to do business with the Red Devils and Osimhen’s asking price of £150 million is too much for the club to match.

As a result, the club’s attention has shifted to Atalanta’s Hojlund. According to The Sun, they have already had a £31 million proposal turned down by the Italian club and are now prepared to make a second £40 million deal for the Danish attacker.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The 20-year-old appeared in 42 matches for Atalanta last season in all competitions where he scored 16 goals and provided seven assists.

AND WHAT’S MORE: Due to Financial Fair Play regulations, United have been left cash-strapped. They are close to sealing a deal for Mason Mount soon and will then be left with just £65m to spend on a striker and goalkeeper.

WHAT NEXT? Along with a striker, Erik ten Hag is also in search of a goalkeeper who could replace out-of-contract David De Gea in the team. They are currently linked with a number of goalkeepers, Andre Onana of Inter being the most prominent name.
