In-form Manchester United travel to face struggling Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Red Devils endured a dismal start to the new season under Ruben Amorim, but have now won three consecutive league games for the first time under the Portuguese.
That run of wins has moved United up to sixth in the Premier League table, and former Sporting CP boss Amorim will be keen to see his side continue their good run of form.
In the meantime, it appears that one of Europe’s biggest clubs are hoping to sign a Man United forward.
According to CaughtOffside, Italian champions Napoli are confident about their chances of signing striker Rasmus Hojlund permanently.

The Danish forward joined Napoli over the summer on a season-long loan move.
He has since scored four goals in seven games for the Italian giants, and the report claims that Napoli are ready to activate an option-to-buy clause in the deal.
Hojlund initially joined United from Atalanta in 2023 but has struggled since arriving at Old Trafford.
In total he has scored 26 goals in 95 games for the Premier League side across all competitions, but he was loaned out to Naples over the summer having started just 23 Premier League games last term.
The report claims that Napoli are set to offer the Denmark international a move that will include a contract running until the end of the 2029/30 season.
It is claimed that Napoli are also interested in fellow Man United star Kobbie Mainoo, who has fallen almost completely out of favour under Amorim and is thought to be looking for a move away from Old Trafford in a bid to secure his place in the England squad for next summer’s World Cup in the United States.
