Manchester United given £12.8m to sign perfect pair for Rasmus Hojlund in transfer chance

Manchester United may have been presented with the ideal candidate to recruit in order to aid in Rasmus Hojlund’s development.

It became known, shortly after the 21-year-old joined the club from Atalanta, that United were seeking an experienced striker to aid in his development. Hojlund has scored the majority of his Premier League goals during a remarkable purple stretch of form in which he scored seven goals in six games during his debut season at Old Trafford.

Additionally, Hojlund has been severely impacted by minor injuries, which have resulted in frequent brief absences that have hindered his ability to develop consistency. During the concluding stages of the season, Erik ten Hag made the decision to remove Bruno Fernandes from the limelight and substitute him with a false nine.

After coming on as a substitute, Hojlund contributed to his total with late goals in the losses to Newcastle and Brighton. The Norway international also contributed to United’s FA Cup victory over Manchester City, but he will undoubtedly be vying for a starting position once more come the following campaign.

With the addition of Hojlund, United somewhat reversed their recent posture on signing strikers; nevertheless, they have been afforded an opportunity to return to their prior position. United have acquired a multitude of seasoned strikers in recent seasons, and both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani have achieved success at Old Trafford.

Moreover, an affordable opportunity has arisen to acquire an attacker of comparable caliber who has the potential to greatly assist Hojlund. L’Equipe, a French publication, reports that Antoine Griezmann is available for £12.8 million due to a release clause in his contract with Atletico Madrid.

The 33-year-old Frenchman is already garnering attention from several European clubs and some in the MLS, but United could make an offer to acquire him. Particularly at that price, there is arguably no one more qualified to assist Hojlund in becoming United’s primary talisman than a prolific left-footed striker.

Griezmann, who has amassed substantial Champions League experience and won the Europa League, could be a valuable addition to United’s roster irrespective of the leadership at the moment.
