Manchester United 'stepping up their pursuit of £40m Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund' as the Red Devils 'consider alternative options to Harry Kane' with Tottenham reluctant to sell to a Premier League rival

Manchester United are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Atalanta's £40m rated striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Erik ten Hag is determined to bring in a new striker during the summer transfer window, with Tottenham star Harry Kane strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford.

However, the Red Devils' hopes of landing Kane are being challenged by a stubborn Daniel Levy who is reluctant to sell to a Premier League rival - while Real Madrid are also in the race for the £100m star.

This has left United looking at alternative options and Denmark striker Hojlund - who has drawn comparisons to Man City's Erling Haaland - has emerged as one of the leading candidates.
