United Weigh Hojlund Sale as Sesko Battle Intensifies

As of August 3rd, 2025, Manchester United find themselves in a complex situation regarding their striker options. The club currently has Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee as their main choices, but United have now put a £30 million price tag on Hojlund, just two years into his five-year contract.

The deal for Hojlund was initially made for up to £72 million, making his potential sale a significant loss for United. However, the club believes they can still make more signings without offloading players, though a deal would ease some financial pressures.

Interestingly, after United's 4-1 win against Bournemouth last month, where Hojlund scored the opening goal, the Danish striker was quick to tell journalists that he wanted to stay at the club. Despite this, Hojlund has been linked with a move away, and United setting an asking price for him could indicate the club's readiness to part ways.

Multiple Serie A clubs, including AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Napoli, have expressed an interest in Hojlund, while RB Leipzig are also admirers of the player. This could play into United's hands as they continue their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko, another Bundesliga striker, to potentially replace Hojlund.
