With Tottenham remaining unwilling to sell Harry Kane to a club in the Premier League, Manchester United are getting ready to activate their interest in the alternative targets.

 

Manchester United have laid down considerable groundwork on Hojlund with the club’s director of football John Murtough holding talks with both Atalanta and the striker’s representatives.

 

 

Erik ten Hag has already spoken to the 20-year-old forward personally to sell him a move to Old Trafford.

 

And it has been claimed that Manchester United are now ready to press the accelerator to push forward with an attempt to sign the Danish striker.

 

 

The Premier League giants have the information and background on Hojlund to pursue a deal to sign him this summer.

 

The Dane is a self-proclaimed Manchester United fan and would welcome a move to Old Trafford.

 

 

Atalanta are aware that they could lose the talented young striker and want around £40m from his departure.

 

Hojlund has scored 16 times this season for the Italian side and has five goals in four appearances for Denmark.
