Promising Danish striker, Rasmus Hojlund, has responded to recent speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United.
While remaining tight-lipped about the reported video calls with United manager Erik ten Hag, Hojlund admitted feeling flattered by the interest from Old Trafford.
The Manchester Evening News had previously reported that Ten Hag engaged in multiple video conversations with Hojlund, considering the 20-year-old a realistic target for a key position in the team. Despite Ten Hag’s long-standing interest in Harry Kane, Tottenham is unlikely to part ways with their star player.
Hojlund is among several targets on Ten Hag’s radar to bolster the team’s attacking prowess. The Dutchman had previously acknowledged being in open discussions with potential signings. Although the young striker refrained from confirming the video calls, he emphasized his aspiration to reach the pinnacle of club football.
Speaking to Danish outlet Berlingske, Hojlund stated, “There has been no video call. I can’t say anything about that. It’s a huge club, so I must have done something right if it says they want me. My goal is to reach the top shelf, and you can say that Manchester United is. So it will be huge.”
As Hojlund joins his Danish teammates for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Slovenia, his future beyond the summer appears increasingly uncertain. Interest in the talented striker continues to grow throughout Europe, indicating a potential departure from his current club, Atalanta.
Moreover, Hojlund revealed that he had enlisted the services of a new agent, although he chose not to disclose their identity or the reasons behind this decision. The young player seems poised for an eventful summer filled with possibilities and potential transfers.
