Højlund and Haaland to play in one city?
Atalanta's Danish striker Rasmus Højlund is on Man Utd's priority list for the upcoming transfer window! It should be noted that the 20-year-old player is one of the main talents of his generation.
Last summer, Atalanta bought the unknown Rasmus Højlund from the Austrian Sturm, wanting to make up for the crisis in the front line after the departures of Ilicic and Gomez, as well as the decline in form from Malinovskyi, Zapata and Muriel. In the first half of the season, the Dane adapted to new realities, and in 2023 he already had seven accurate shots for the Goddess and a reinforced stable place in the starting line-up.
However, Rasmus really shone during the international break when he scored five goals for the Denmark national team at once! It’s not surprising that he quickly got on the radar of solid top clubs, whose chances of taking the striker away from the crisis-ridden Atalanta are very high. Manchester United are the most persistent, because they desperately need an extra-class forward for a stable fight for the Premier League title.
So far, the Red Devils' priority option is Harry Kane, the best striker in Tottenham and England history. The player himself, perhaps, would have agreed to the terms of the Mancunians, but the tight-fisted Spurs boss Daniel Levy will make his life as difficult as possible during the negotiations and scare off potential buyers of Kane. Bayern and Manchester City have already gone through this, so it’s possible that a similar fate awaits Manchester United.
As for us, Rasmus Hojlund is a good option for the long term. The guy is only 20 years old, and he is already being compared with another Scandinavian goalscorer Erling Haaland, who plays for Manchester City. If suddenly the Dane switches to Old Trafford, then the media will definitely come up with a number of flashy headlines about this. Plus, purely from a gaming point of view, Rasmus, who is tall and plays great in the air, would reinforce any club in the world. He would have to pump stability and conversion, but it's a matter of time.
It is unlikely that the modest Atalanta will hold on to their diamond by force, whose departure to a more status club is a matter of time. And at Manchester United, they clearly changed their mindset and gradually return the club's confidence in the future. The young team of the Red Devils under the leadership of ten Hag will still make a lot of noise, and Hojlund would definitely not be a weak link in it.
