Manchester United reportedly offered two players to Atalanta in their attempts to sign Rasmus Hojlund this summer.
After a prolonged pursuit, amid rival interest from PSG, United completed a £72million move for the Danish striker at the end of July.
Erik ten Hag was desperate to bring in attacking reinforcements after relying on the inconsistent Anthony Martial, along with January loan signing Wout Weghorst last season.
Hojlund's United debut was delayed after scans detected a back problem during the 20-year-old's medical, but the Dane has impressed in his three appearances for the club and netted his first Red Devils goal during the 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
