Spending big to sign Rasmus Hojlund this summer would represent a significant gamble for Manchester United, according to Nicky Butt.
United are in need of a top striker in the transfer window, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure in December leaving a hole in their squad. The loan signing of Wout Weghorst in January did little to address the problem and Erik ten Hag now wants to make a statement signing to follow the £60million capture of Mason Mount.
Hojlund is one of the players they are considering and the Manchester Evening News reports that football director John Murtough has met Atalanta officials to discuss a move. Mirror Football understands that United want to loan Mason Greenwood to the Italian club to help facilitate a transfer for Hojlund.
