Manchester United will face Arsenal in their opening Premier League fixture today and we can expect the three big summer signings, Sesko, Cunha and Mbeumo to start up front in the attack.
As far as the transfers are concerned, having reinforced the offense, the Red Devils are focused on offloading the deadwood.
News – Total approval – Star ready to agree £100,000 a week deal to seal Manchester United exit
After loaning out Marcus Rashford to Barcelona, Man Utd are close to shipping out the likes of Jadon Sancho and Rasmus Hojlund as well.
As per today’s edition of La Gazzetta Dello Sport, the Old Trafford outfit have agreed a fee worth 23 million euros (£20m), to sell the England international to AS Roma.
The former Dortmund winger has decided to reduce his salary, spreading it over a five-year contract worth €4.5 million euros and add-ons.
The only remaining details regarding his agents’ commissions are still being finalized and Roma are looking to come up with a solution in the next ’48 hours’.
As far as Hojlund is concerned, Corriere dello Sport report today that Man Utd are ready to seal a €5million loan, supplemented by approximately €40million option to make the move permanent next year.
However, the final agreement must be reached regarding the Dane’s future buyout.
Gazzetta claim that Hojlund is intent on having a release clause for the summer of 2026 and that must be lower than the €40million Milan may have to spend to permanently sign him.
Unlike Sancho, Hojlund featured for Manchester United during the pre-season and will likely be part of the squad today against Arsenal.
However, if he does not get on the pitch at all, then he must consider his career at Old Trafford over. After average back to back campaigns, it is perhaps time for him to leave.
