Deal reached for Rasmus Hojlund's departure from Manchester United, according to reports.
Man Utd Misfortune: Rasmus Hojlund's struggle and Potential Exodus to Inter Milan
Let's face it, this Manchester United season has been nothing short of a disaster, and for Rasmus Hojlund, it's been a particularly frustrating ride. The Danish forward has taken the brunt of the blame upfront, with limited success to show for it.
Hojlund has had stiff competition from Joshua Zirkzee, but he hasn't managed to pin down Ruben Amorim's faith as the primary striker moving forward. In 32 Premier League appearances this season, he's only amassed four goals and one assist.
Interested Parties Knocking on the Door
The media has been whispering about a move away from Old Trafford, and it seems like Hojlund might be better off elsewhere. His impressive record in the Europa League, with nine goal involvements in just 15 games, showcases a talent that could thrive elsewhere, especially in continental competitions.
Reports suggest that Inter Milan, who have long been admirers of Hojlund, haven't lost interest despite his struggles in England. Having signed him for an eye-watering £72m from Atalanta back in 2023, they are well-acquainted with his strengths and weaknesses[1].
According to insider reports, Inter Milan have proposed a deal that mirrors Marcus Rashford's temporary stint at Aston Villa, with an initial loan agreement and an option to buy[2].
Eyebrow-Raising Valuation
With rumors swirling about a transfer, the Red Devils have reportedly set their sights on £38-42m for Hojlund[3].
In our humble opinion, a change of scenery might be just what Hojlund needs. Leading the line for this current Manchester United side is no easy feat, especially for a budding star like Hojlund, who is still finding his footing in the game.
At just 22, Hojlund has a long career ahead of him, and moving away from the intense spotlight of Old Trafford could be the catalyst for a resurgence[4].
According to Transfermarkt, Hojlund is currently valued at €45m[5].

Should Rasmus Hojlund decide to depart from Manchester United, European leagues such as the Italian Serie A could provide a more fertile ground for his development. Notably, Inter Milan, who have long taken interest in him, are reportedly keen on securing a deal. The potential transfer value of Hojlund is estimated to be between £38-42 million, significantly lower than his Transfermarkt value of €45m.
