Rasmus Hojlund’s time in Manchester United is almost over because he is left out of the squad to face arsenal.
The youngster, who signed £ 72 million in 2023 in 2023, came with Atalanta on the back of the impressive form, but he achieved only 26 goals in 95 appearances.

This summer the Red Devils from RB Leipzig contested Benjamin Sesko £ 74 million and he replaces the DANE directly.
Hojlund had publicly insisted that he wanted to stay in Old Trafford and added that he was ready to fight for his future.
“I think my plan is very clear and that is that I stay for my place and fight for my place whatever happens,” he said.
“The competition is okay with me, it sharpens me. I am more than ready. I feel sharp, so I greet everything that comes.”
Now it is clear that manager Ruben Amorim does not count on the 22-year-old.
Despite his statement that he was an option for his squad to stand up to the Gunners at their start to the season.
The Portuguese said: “He is another option, we will see. We concentrate on this game and Rasmus is still our player.”
At the beginning of summer, he also said: Amorim said: “I’m really satisfied with Rasmus, but I don’t know what will happen until the end of the market.
“The most important thing is that Rasmus scores goals. It combines very well with the team. He improves.
“I don’t know what will happen until the market is closed. We suffered a lot about the lack of goals last season.”

Hojlund is interested in his services as an exit appears on the cards.
Talk sports reported that they were ready to sell the player for 40 million GBP. This is a loss of £ 32 million for the original effort.
This is also a 3 million pound hit for his book value in the club, while the player remains in his current contract for three years.
It is also understood that Hojlund himself reluctantly is ready to leave the club.
It is currently believed that AC Milan prefers a loan contract with a purchase option at the end of the season, while the player rejected a switch to Leipzig.
What went wrong for Rasmus Hojlund?
The Danish striker looked as a decent fit for Manchester United when he arrived, but a goal that immediately affected him.

He did not score in his first 14 Premier League games, although he scored five goals from the Champions League in four appearances in the competition.
After an increase in the goals in six consecutive games, however, he suffered another two -month barren spell.
Similarly, he also had several runs in his second season that were difficult to reach, including a 21 game run by the Premier League.
In total, he only scored 10 goals in 52 appearances, which meant that Manchester United moved to Sesko.
Who still signed Manchester United?
In addition to Sesko, the Red Devils also added two other strikers to their squad.
They took a step on June 1 to snap Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
After a season with 15 goals in the Premier League in the past term, a deal resolved the Red Devils £ 62.5 million.
In the meantime, they also added Brentford star Bryan Mbumo to the mix.
He cost her on the back of a 20 goal season in West London £ 65 million.
Manchester United also signed left -back Diego Leon to strengthen her squad.
