Manchester United’s post-season tour in Malaysia has brought more than just media attention and match minutes.
Fans expected to see signs of progress under Ruben Amorim, but instead, many questions have been raised—particularly up front.
United’s lack of cutting edge was again exposed in their friendly against the ASEAN All-Stars, where the club’s marquee striker once again underwhelmed.

Despite adding new signings like Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu in January, Amorim’s side remains light in the final third, prompting an aggressive strategy for the summer transfer window.
Chief executive Omar Berrada, alongside football negotiator Matt Hargreaves, has been heavily involved in what’s shaping up to be a striker shake-up of note.
And that may now involve a major outgoing.
Rasmus Hojlund is the man in the spotlight, with Manchester United ready to move on after a frustrating season in which the Danish striker managed just four Premier League goals.
According to fresh reports from Il Napolista, Hargreaves has flown to Naples for talks with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis and sporting director Giovanni Manna.

Napoli are considering a move for Rasmus Hojlund, who previously impressed in Serie A with Atalanta, and negotiations may involve more than just a simple transfer.
A swap deal was reportedly floated—Rasmus Hojlund plus €40 million in exchange for Nigerian goal machine Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen, who spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Galatasaray, fired 36 goals to help the Turkish side win the Super Lig title and remains one of the most coveted forwards in Europe.
While the proposed deal may appear to favour United, wage demands and heavy interest from Saudi giants Al-Hilal are complicating matters.
Osimhen is expected to command a hefty salary, and Napoli may still prefer a straight sale to the highest bidder.
Still, the very fact that such a blockbuster trade is being discussed underlines United’s determination to land an elite striker—and their willingness to cut ties with Hojlund sooner than expected.
