Manchester United agree £72m for Real Madrid Target

Manchester United has been on the lookout for a striker this summer. Initially, they were linked with Harry Kane, but it became evident that a deal wouldn’t happen. Instead, they turned their attention to Rasmus Hojlund, a young Danish international who had been a long-time target for Real Madrid.

Manchester United successfully secured the signing of Hojlund for a substantial transfer fee of £72 million, including add-ons. Although he is highly-rated for his playing style, he is yet to reach the goal-scoring level of Erling Haaland, but his potential is promising.

Hojlund’s recent performance with Atalanta showed decent stats, with 10 goals and 4 assists in 34 appearances. However, the significant transfer fee poses a risk for Manchester United, considering he has not yet proven himself at the highest level.

Real Madrid, who had been linked to Hojlund before, probably wouldn’t have paid such a hefty sum for him this summer. Now, it remains to be seen how the young striker will perform at Manchester United, as the club’s signings have been a mix of success and failure in the past season.
