Manchester United are closing in on £60m agreement for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund

Manchester United have reached agreement with ATALANTA for striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Talks advanced on Saturday over the structure of the fee which is expected to be around £60million with paperwork to be finalised overnight.

The Denmark international was an unused substitute for Atalanta's 3-1 friendly win over Bournemouth on Saturday and shook hands with teammates as if bidding farewell.

Hojlund, who scored nine goals in Serie A last season, became United’s No 1 target after being priced out of a move for Tottenham's Harry Kane.

Erik ten Hag's side made an opening verbal offer of £42.
