Fabrizio Romano: Manchester United star 'wants to stay' despite 'very good' chance he'll leave
Man Utd want to overhaul their attack in the summer transfer window.
Rasmus Hojlund has no intention of leaving Manchester United this summer and wants to fight for his place in the first-team squad under Ruben Amorim.
United made it their priority to overhaul their attack during the transfer window and will focus on signing a new striker after they completed the transfer of Bryan Mbeumo earlier this week. The deals for Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha were funded from the initial transfer budget, but any move for a striker will need to be financed from player sales.
It means United need to sell before they can buy, with Hojlund one of those that could be moved on. United are currently focused on exits for Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony, but The Athletic claim there is also a 'very good chance' the Danish striker could leave this summer. The striker might not agree, though and he is determined to turn his fortunes around at Old Trafford.
Fabrizio Romano issues Rasmus Hojlund update
Manchester United will entertain any serious offers that arrive for Rasmus Hojlund this summer as they aim to add a proven goalscorer to their forward line. Inter Milan showed interest in a possible move for the striker, though it is understood they have cooled their interest in recent weeks.
It has even been claimed United could allow Hojlund to leave on loan rather than in a permanent sale, though the player reportedly has no interest in any summer exit. "Hojlund wants to stay at Man United and fight for his place, compete, be a Manchester United player and do his best," Romano said in his latest YouTube video.
"The only way for Hojlund to leave is if Man United management, manager, whoever will go to the player and say ‘okay we don’t trust you anymore you have to go.’ In that case, Hojlund obviously would then consider options. Until that moment, Hojlund remains fully focused on Manchester United and on his dream of succeeding at Manchester United."
