Manchester United could finally offload one of their most underwhelming investments this summer.
According to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano, Inter have made contact with Rasmus Hojlund’s camp in recent days. Talks have started with Hojlund one of the main options on Inter’s shortlist.
The Danish striker moved to Old Trafford from Atalanta in a deal worth £72 million in the summer of 2023.
He made a bright start, netting 16 goals in his debut season and flashing glimpses of immense potential.
However, the 2024–25 campaign turned out to be a nightmare for the 22-year-old, as he struggled to find form when it mattered most.
He managed just 10 goals all season, with a disappointing return of only four strikes in 32 Premier League appearances.
Back in Italy, he had carved out a reputation as one of the most exciting young number nines.
He drew comparisons to Erling Haaland for his physicality, pace, and fearless style.
He has barely shown glimpses of his talent in the red shirt and the time may be right to cut losses.
The £30m-rated ace still boasts raw talent, and a return to Serie A might be just what he needs to reignite his career.
However, talent alone does not guarantee success at Old Trafford. Character and resilience are equally vital.
Inter progressed to the UEFA Champions League final but were hammered 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain.
With manager Simone Inzaghi linked to a high-profile switch to Saudi Arabia, the Nerazzurri are desperate to rebuild.
The Italian outfit could also propose a loan deal with an option to buy next year.
United would prefer a straight sale to boost their finances and steer clear of financial fair play scrutiny.
