UCL finalist 'exploring' summer transfer for Man United flop

Manchester United are bracing for a major squad overhaul this summer following one of the most disastrous seasons in the club’s history.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Rasmus Hojlund is attracting interest from Italy, with Inter Milan exploring a potential move.

Juventus and Napoli have previously made enquiries for the forward.

Hojlund arrived at Old Trafford with much fanfare in 2023, signing from Atalanta in a blockbuster £72 million deal.

After a promising debut year, the Danish striker has spectacularly regressed, delivering a string of underwhelming performances this season.

A club as big as United could not be content with their leading striker scoring only ten goals all season.

Hojlund was hailed as the next big thing, with bold comparisons even linking him to Erling Haaland.

Yet beyond his physical presence and raw pace, he has shown little of the ruthlessness or impact that defines Haaland’s game at Manchester City.

Antony is considered one of the worst transfers for United in this decade, but Hojlund is now giving him fierce competition.

The Denmark international has looked lightweight, easily muscled off the ball and has struggled to lead the line with any authority.

United should ideally offload him, but could incur losses under the Profit & Sustainability Rules.

Inter will face Paris Saint-Germain for the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy on May 31.

For United, a strong offer from the Nerazzurri might be the financial lifeline they desperately need to dodge another accounting nightmare.

United are also looking at alternatives to boost their frontline.

Ipswich Town’s marksman Liam Delap looks to be the front-runner to move to Old Trafford this summer.
