Struggling Striker Faces Uncertain Future as United Eye New Talent and Potential Departures
Rasmus Hojlund’s time at Manchester United could be at a crossroads this summer, with reports suggesting the Danish striker is more likely to stay than leave, despite a challenging debut season at Old Trafford. The 22-year-old, who joined United in 2023, has endured a difficult campaign, only recently breaking a months-long goal drought. His struggles have sparked speculation that he could be moved on after just two years, as the club looks to raise funds and strengthen its attacking options.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on Saturday that clubs are already inquiring about Hojlund’s availability ahead of the summer transfer window. “Manchester United are planning to bring in an important striker this summer,” Romano said. “Clubs are reaching out to United and people close to Hojlund to understand his situation and potential cost. There is interest, and if a good proposal comes in, it could be an opportunity for United to consider.”
Hojlund, who impressed during his time at Atalanta in Italy, has reportedly attracted interest from several countries, including a potential return to Serie A. However, United’s plans to sign a marquee striker, such as Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, could complicate matters. Rumors have even suggested that United might offer Hojlund or Alejandro Garnacho as part of a deal to secure Osimhen’s services. While such a move seems unlikely, it hasn’t been entirely ruled out, according to The Athletic’s Manchester United insider Laurie Whitwell.
Despite the speculation, not everyone is convinced Hojlund will depart. GIVEMESPORT reports that the young forward is more likely to remain at United beyond this season than to leave, which could impact the club’s ability to pursue high-profile targets like Osimhen. Hojlund’s potential retention raises questions about how United will balance their squad rebuild with financial constraints.
Hojlund’s struggles have been a focal point of United’s underwhelming season, but his recent return to form offers a glimmer of hope. Whether he stays or goes, his future will be closely watched as United navigate a critical summer transfer window. For now, the Danish striker remains a player in flux, caught between the club’s ambitions and his own need to prove his worth on the biggest stage.
