Erik ten Hag reveals Manchester United are making PROGRESS towards signing a new striker... with the Red Devils expected to table a bid for Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund

Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are making progress on signing a new striker before the start of the season.

United have been heavily linked with Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund and are expected to table a bid, although the club insist they do not want to pay more than £60million.

Ten Hag has stressed the importance of bringing in players as soon as possible this summer so they can settle, and hopes United can add to the signings of Mason Mount and Andre Onana soon.

‘We’re making progress but we know how it works and when we have him, we will tell you directly,’ said Ten Hag in San Diego ahead of the Under-21s game against Wrexham at the Snapdragon Stadium on Tuesday and the first team’s clash with Real Madrid in Houston on Wednesday.
