Denmark danger man being linked with big money switch to Premiership giants

One of the danger men Northern Ireland are set to face at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on Friday is being tipped to make a big money move to Manchester United.

Rasmus Hojlund is one of Europe's hottest prospects at the minute.

The 20-year-old made the switch to Atalanta last season and bagged 20 goals in his debut season in Serie A.

He has also made a big impression on the international scene netting five goals for Denmark in the opening two Euro 2024 qualifiers against Finland and Kazakhstan.

Hojlund's style has earned him comparisons with Erling Haaland and he is being talked about as a potential summer recruit for Manchester United.

The Dane is one of several strikers linked with a switch to Old Trafford this summer - with the club keeping tabs on the likes of Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani.

The Athletic are reporting that the Serie A side are 'open to a sale' but want a fee of around £40m.

Hojlund only made the move to Austrian side Sturm Graz in January 2022, before being snapped up by Atalanta in August.

It has been claimed that the striker is 'eager' to become a United player, with the co-founder of his agency - Kees Vos - currently representing Ten Hag and regularly visiting Carrington.

He is certainly going to be one player Northern Ireland are going to have to keep an eye out for come Friday evening.
