Rasmus Hojlund ‘undergoing Manchester United medical’ ahead of £72m move

Incoming Manchester United signing Rasmus Hojlund will undergo his medical today ahead of completing a huge £72million move.

The 20-year-old became Erik ten Hag's key summer striker target, after learning Harry Kane was not interested in a move, after an impressive debut season with Atalanta which saw him score nine goals.

United have agreed a deal worth €75m (£64m) plus £10m (£8m) in add-ons, and Hojlund will sign a five-year deal to become the club's third summer signing, after Mason Mount - who joined from Chelsea for £60m - and Andre Onana - who signed from Inter Milan for £47.2m.

The Athletic report that Hojlund is due at the club's Carrington training ground on Tuesday to complete his medical. Official confirmation of the complete deal is expected later on Tuesday or on Wednesday.

Hojlund, who said his goodbyes to his team-mates over the weekend, has six caps for Denmark and has already scored six international goals.
