Atalanta reject United’s first offer for Rasmus Højlund

It has been confirmed that the Italian club Atalanta has rejected the offer of $35 million euros that Manchester United had proposed for the young striker Rasmus Hojlund. Let’s remember that Rasmus was a player specially requested by the Dutch coach Erik Ten Hag since after watching several games, the former Ajax coach was fascinated by his physical and football characteristics when attacking.

The 20-year-old attacker came to prominence last season, when Atalanta relied on the youngster, spending a total of €17.20 million at Sturm Graz of the Austrian league. In his first season in the elite of European football, Højlund played a total of 34 games, where he scored 10 goals and helped his team with 4 assists.

With the confirmed departure of Wout Weghorst and the possible sales of Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho, to raise funds to be able to sign. With a small change of scheme putting Rashford on the wing for either Sancho or Anthony, Rasmus would have no problem getting into the ideal eleven. Because there is also the possibility of trying a new trident, which would be Garnacho – Rasmus – Rashford.

Although it is not the first option for the Red Devils, since both the leaders and the fans want a center forward of hierarchy and with more experience than the young man born in Denmark. At the time Harry Kane has sounded very strong as a new signing, but Spurs have already confirmed that Harry Kane would not be sold to a rival who is in the Premier League. But everything will depend on the profits that the English club generates from certain sales that it makes throughout the transfer market.

It is known that the club is interested in selling a total of 13 players including Martial, Sancho and Elanga, in addition to the recent confirmation that Weghorst has already returned to Burnley due to the end of his loan with the Red Devils.

Would you bring him or would you look for a striker with more experience worldwide?
