Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund has reportedly made it clear that he has no interest in making the move to RB Leipzig during this summer's transfer window.
There is currently widespread speculation when it comes to Hojlund's future, with Man United looking to bring a new striker to the club before the end of the market.
Hojlund was on the scoresheet in Man United's 4-1 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday night in the Premier League Summer Series, but Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim admitted after the match that he could not guarantee that the Denmark international would remain at Old Trafford.
Benjamin Sesko has emerged as Man United's leading centre-forward target, although Newcastle United have submitted a club-record offer for the 22-year-old.
According to talkSPORT, Leipzig view Hojlund as a potential replacement for Sesko, with the Bundesliga outfit huge admirers of the former Atalanta BC youngster.
However, journalist Alex Crook has claimed that Hojlund has no interest in moving to Leipzig and has made his feelings on a potential switch to the German outfit clear.

Hojlund 'not interested' in replacing Sesko at Leipzig
Hojlund has insisted that he wants to stay at Old Trafford and fight for his spot in the side, even if the Red Devils bring in a new striker to be the number one choice through the middle.
The Dane arrived at Man United off the back of scoring 10 times in 34 appearances for Atalanta in 2022-23.
The striker had an encouraging first season at Old Trafford, scoring 16 times in 43 appearances, but he only found the back of the net on 10 occasions during the 2024-25 campaign.
Goals were a real problem for Amorim's side last term, with Joshua Zirkzee also struggling to make his mark, but the Netherlands international is set to stay at Old Trafford despite some speculation surrounding his future earlier this year.

Could Man United abandon Sesko move and keep Hojlund?
As it stands, there is only one concrete bid on the table for Sesko - the one submitted by Newcastle.
The Magpies have allegedly offered €75m (£65.5m) plus €5m (£4.4m) in add-ons for the Slovenian, and it remains to be seen whether Man United are willing to pay that sort of figure.
It is entirely possible that Man United will drop their interest in Sesko and decide to keep hold of Hojlund, potentially spending the money put aside for a striker on a goalkeeper and a central midfielder.
However, that would be a risk considering the struggles of Hojlund and Zirkzee last term, with 17-year-old Chido Obi the only other option through the middle at this moment in time.
