22yo Man United ace 'reluctant' to leave Old Trafford, club not forcing him out

Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund faces an uncertain future after the arrival of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.

According to ESPN, Hojlund is ‘reluctant’ to leave Man United but is aware that he may get only limited minutes this season.

The report further reveals that the Red Devils are not forcing him out but are open to offers.

They will consider both permanent and loan bids, with AC Milan eyeing a summer swoop for him.

Hojlund secured a staggering £72 million move from Atalanta to United in the summer of 2023.

After a decent debut spell, Hojlund failed miserably last campaign.

He scored only four Premier League goals despite making over 30 appearances.

AC Milan are plotting a season-long loan with the option to buy next summer.

Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund are also keeping tabs on his situation.

If Alexander Isak leaves Newcastle, Hojlund could become their first-choice striker.

Sesko secured a £73.6m switch to Old Trafford last weekend and will be the first-choice number nine under manager Ruben Amorim.

Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee will serve as his back-up.

With no European football, United want to reduce their squad size and reduce pressure on their wage bill.

Hojlund remains a striker of great potential, but his confidence has hit rock bottom.

He was regularly bullied by defenders last season, failing to give United’s attack a reliable focal point.

The 22-year-old needs to go back to the drawing board and rediscover his form.

A switch back to Italy could be the perfect reboot, as he thrived in Serie A with Atalanta.
