Rasmus Hojlund’s Transfer Circus…
The Red Devils are ready to trade their magic beans for a bag of peanuts, with Rasmus Hojlund set to trample out of Old Trafford like a bewildered circus elephant. Bought from Atalanta for what seemed like the treasure of El Dorado, Hojlund is now priced to sell faster than a hot pie at halftime. With his value under the PSR rules calculated at £38.4 million, Manchester United are bravely asking for a humble £30 million, hoping some deep-pocketed club sees Hojlund as a golden goose rather than a sitting duck.
Inter Milan once fluttered their eyelashes at the Danish striker, like a cheeky fan waving a scarf, but United remains focused on acquiring a new striker who can spin more than just yarns about potential. With striking mavens like Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres on their shopping list, and whispers of Liam Delap and Ollie Watkins lurking in the shadows, United’s shopping cart is as crowded as a six-yard box during a corner.
Hojlund insists he wants to stay and battle it out like a valiant knight in search of goal-induced glory, but a new striker could mean his song at United ends on a sour note. “I’m only 22, not 22 feet tall like Haaland,” he chirped, seemingly challenging the winds of change to a friendly duel. With eyes on sharpening his shooting boots and keen to joust with the new guy, Hojlund might just have his metaphorical cake and eat it too, unless, of course, United trades that cake for some shiny striker sprinkles.
