Manchester United 'make Atalanta's Rasmus Hojlund their top target as Erik ten Hag seeks to sign a striker after landing England midfielder Mason Mount'

Manchester United are reportedly planning a £50million raid for Denmark star Rasmus Hojlund as they seek to land a striker this summer.

Reds boss Erik ten Hag will push on in a bid to land a second major signing despite growing uncertainty on the proposed takeover.

The club have been working according to a strict budget because of financial fair play considerations but believe that they can deliver Hojlund this summer for around £50m, according to the Telegraph.

The 20-year-old enjoyed an impressive breakthrough season at Atalanta in Serie A last season by scoring nine league goals in 32 games.
