Romano: Hojlund’s time at Man Utd ‘definitely over’ – striker will ‘assess his options’

Rasmus Hojlund’s time at Manchester United looks to have come to an end, as he will not be in their squad to face Arsenal.

Milan are looking to sign a striker before the opening game of the Serie A season in six weeks, given they currently have only Santiago Gimenez. Hojlund is the main name that has been linked in recent weeks, though there have been doubts about his willingness to move.

This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the Dane doesn’t want to end up in a situation where his future is uncertain yet again next summer. As such, he would like a permanent move, or a buy-out clause of €40m to improve his chances of staying.

On his social media, Fabrizio Romano reports: “Rasmus Højlund and Manchester United, it’s definitely over. Højlund won’t be part of Man United squad against Arsenal as club sends clear message pushing for his exit. United open to permanent and also loan deal, Højlund will assess his options.”

With Hojlund now completely outside of United’s plans, developments can be expected in the coming days. However, the word ‘options’ seems to suggest that Milan are not the only club in the running.
