Manchester United are preparing to say goodbye to Rasmus Hozilund this summer, showing that they are ready to offload the Danish striker despite facing the challenge of securing a new centre forward ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Hozilund, who arrived at Old Trafford from Atalanta for the first £64 million, endured a disappointing second season in the UK.
The attacker struggles to find consistency under the control of Reuben Amorim.
The 22-year-old discovered that he was behind the net only 10 times in all competitions, leaving him with concerns about his ability to lead the line within the club.
Man United Ready to Rasmus Hoilund
According to Givemesport, Man United decided to sell the attacker this summer and sign an alternative to address the goalscoring issue.
The Danish striker has been linked to the Serie A’s move to Naples, and reportedly loves to take part in the Italian champions.
Forced to stick with Hozilund due to the lack of a reliable offensive alternative, Amorim decided that his team would need a better striker to lead the offense next season.
Following his 15th place finish in the Premier League, it became important for the Red Devils to lose in the Europa League final, ending the league season with a negative goal difference and signing a new striker.
Bundesliga Striker has been identified as a replacement for Hojlund
United’s recruitment team is actively evaluating potential alternatives. Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt has emerged as a player who has been praised by the club.
However, as Frankfurt demands a £84 million fee reported to Ekitique, United are cautious about committing to transactions they deem financially excessive.
Agents have begun offering alternative strikers to United officials, according to the report, and are ready to consider the tried and goal-scorer moves.
Hojlund’s promise was clear when he arrived, but the need for goals and consistent performance is so pressing that it cannot be ignored as Amorim plans for a critical season ahead.
Viktor Gyokeres is on the radar and following changes to plans, the striker may now be open to travel to Old Trafford.
