Rasmus Hojlund’s trainer has given a major hint over the Danish striker’s future, after a long period of rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United.
After the acquisition of Mason Mount, Erik ten Hag’s next target is a striker, and Atalanta’s Hojlund has been linked to Old Trafford, in a transfer that will set the Red Devils back about £50m.
And a cheeky Instagram video posted by his trainers ENERGETICX Copenhagen has hinted at a new step for the 20-year-old after one season with Atalanta.
A caption read ‘We ready for what’s next’, accompanied by a shushing emoji, as well as the grime music of Stormzy – a well known Manchester United fan.
The Red Devils remain confident that they can reach an agreement over Hojlund, despite Atalanta’s initial high price tag on the Danish striker.

Manchester United’s bid to sign Hojlund may be a tight one, as they have to abide by financial fair play considerations.
Mail Sport’s Chris Wheeler previously noted that Man United were making smart decisions about retaining players and choosing cheaper alternatives in an effort to meet the rules.
Hojlund played 34 games for Atalanta last season, registering 10 goals and nabbing two assists too. He helped the club finish fifth in the Serie A table, and they qualified for next season’s Europa League competition.

However, the circumstances suggest his stay in Italy was a brief one.
As well as proving himself on a club level, he has proven to be an invaluable influence on the international scene too.
He also has six goals in four appearances in Denmark’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign to date, putting him joint at the top of the goalscorer’s chart equal with Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku.
