Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund could potentially be plying his trade at Leeds United soon.
The Denmark international joined the Red Devils from Atalanta in 2023 for a significant sum, but has failed to live up to expectations in the Premier League.
Daniel Farke seemingly has a belief in Hojlund despite his struggles at Old Trafford in recent seasons, with the Whites keeping tabs on him.
The Man United striker’s loan move to Elland Road was speculated a few months ago, and the West Yorkshire outfit may have an opportunity to seal a shocking deal.

It’s been claimed that the Red Devils wish to part ways with the 22-year-old before the end of August, and could consider a loan deal with a buy option.
With the Danish centre-forward out of Ruben Amorim’s plans, the Old Trafford hierarchy don’t have much time left to sell him.
While Leeds aren’t actively pursuing Hojlund, they may have an opportunity to give Farke what he wants in LS11.

Isaac Schmidt replacement, new attackers: Farke needs more transfers at Leeds United
Former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has joined the Whites as a free agent, but they arguably need more options up front.
The West Yorkshire outfit could arguably do with another winger to add more depth up front and should look at a replacement for Patrick Bamford.
While the ex-Toffee will certainly give Farke a much-needed option in attack, his consistent fitness issues at Goodison Park won’t encourage the Elland Road faithful.
Hojlund cost Man United £72million.
The striker scored 16 goals in his debut season for the Red Devils.
Amorim has signed Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
Leeds also need a replacement for Isaac Schmidt before sanctioning his exit in the final weeks of the transfer window.
Hojlund’s confidence at Man United has dwindled in recent months, but he may be able to get back to his best at Elland Road.
The 22-year-old showed glimpses of his talent in the Champions League in the 2023/24 season, and fans in LS11 will certainly keep an eye on the situation.
