Man Utd transfer target Rasmus Hojlund’s trainer drops huge hints he’s on the way to Old Trafford in Instagram clip
MANCHESTER UNITED transfer target Rasmus Hojlund’s trainer has appeared to have dropped a huge hint that the star is on his way to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils finally secured their first summer last week in Mason Mount.
They confirmed the arrival of England international Mount, 24, in a £60million move from Chelsea.
Boss Erik ten Hag is still desperate to bolster his squad this summer in a number of positions ahead of their tricky start to the 2023/24 campaign.
And a new striker remains a top priority, with Tottenham’s Harry Kane one of his top targets while he is also looking to make a move for Atalanta’s Hojlund.
But he has been left frustrated by United’s lack of transfer activity, which has arisen in part due to the uncertainty surrounding the club’s ownership and FFP rules.
The takeover process is still ongoing despite claims last month that the Qatari group was set to complete a deal, and the Glazers have been unwilling to spend money on players given they are about to relinquish control of the club.
We then revealed how he only had a £100m transfer budget due to FFP restrictions – meaning he must offload several players to boost the funds – especially after forking out for Mount.
It was then claimed that United will bid for Denmark international Hojlund.
Club chiefs believe that they can deliver the 20-year-old hotshot for around £50m – although “the deal might have to wait for resolution in the Glazer sale” process.

Now Hojlund’s trainers may have dropped a cryptic clue that a move could be on the cards.
ENERGETICX Copenhagen posted a video on Instagram of the forward in action, captioning it alongside a shushing emoji with: “We ready for what’s next.”
The video also had Stormzy’s Toxic Trait track playing over it, with the UK Grime star a well-known United supporter.
Hojlund scored nine goals in 32 Serie A matches last term and United believe that he will develop into one of Europe’s best strikers.
The club were also looking into a potential move for Eintracht Frankfurt’s French international forward Randal Kolo Muani.
However, it now seems that Ten Hag has identified Hojlund as his preferred option.
