Transfer Talk: United lead the race for hotshot Hojlund

Manchester United front the queue for highly-rated Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The Red Devils are without a clinical No9 in their squad and will be in the market for a goalscorer this summer.

Erik ten Hag's men crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of Sevilla last night, losing 3-0 in Spain and 5-2 on aggregate.

That lack of threat in the final third has led The Mirror to claim that signing a centre forward is the top priority for Old Trafford chiefs.

Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen are on United's list of targets but both would cost in excess of £100million.

Hojlund has found his feet in Serie A this term, scoring seven times in 26 appearances.

The 20-year-old is contracted to La Dea until 2027 but may look to force a move if the Premier League giants come calling.

A switch to the English top flight would also give the Denmark international the opportunity to play European football next season, with Atalanta currently at risk of missing out on a Europa Conference League spot.
