Manchester United outcast Rasmus Hojlund is attracting interest from Italy and Germany
Manchester United’s 15th place in the 2024/25 Premier League season proved to be a deep shock for every supporter. The defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final shattered whatever little hope was left. Even Ruben Amorim’s mid-season arrival could not change the direction of the team, and now the club will not play in any European competition in 2025/26. At such a time, the responsibility of saving the history and prestige of the club has fallen not only on the players but also on the trust of the fans.
The ups and downs of the last few years have made it clear that United will have to make tough decisions. The arrival of high-profile players like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo has brought new momentum to the squad. Also, by showing faith in young talent like Diogo Leon, the club have started strengthening the foundation for the future. Despite this, a big question remains – where is the goal-scoring striker? Rasmus Hojlund has been ineffective for us last season, and therefore it is not unlikely that we would want to sell him, and get an upgrade
Transfer battle continues for Rasmus Hojlund
That brings us to CaughtOffside‘s report, that many big clubs in Europe are currently eyeing Hojlund. Bayer Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag is especially pushing for him. He believes that Hojlund can become the pivot of the German club’s attacking system. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli are already in the race, while on the other hand, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are also keeping a close eye on the situation. The 22-year-old Danish striker’s pace, power and runs in the box attract everyone. The initial time spent at United may not have been as expected, but his age and potential have made him a hot prospect in the transfer market.
Time to understand the value of your striker
Manchester United outcast Rasmus Hojlund is attracting interest from Italy and Germany.
asmus Hojlund is emerging as one of the most sought-after centre-forwards on the continent this summer, with a growing list of elite clubs fighting for his signature.
From Manchester United’s point of view, this transfer war seems to be a good sign. When a player is in such demand, the club must know how to use his value properly. If teams like Bayer Leverkusen or Inter Milan want to make Hojlund a central part of their system, then United will be able to sell the Dane for a better value, which they were not expecting earlier.
To be honest, it is sad to be out of European football, but it is at such junctures that the backbone of the club is strengthened. If we can sell a youngster like Hojlund and bring in strikers like Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko, then the club can show the fire of old again. At this time, we need to work with our minds, not our emotions. With the arrival of a right striker, not only will Old Trafford regain its charm, but Manchester United will be seen in their true colours again.
There were reports that Newcastle United are set to beat Manchester United in the signing of Sesko, but it remains to be seen what happens in the end. With the transfer battle heating up for the Dane, we can definitely have a good value for a player who flopped for us last season, but selling him without any proper replacement will be highly risky as well.
