Manchester United are in need of quality up top following a disastrous season for Rasmus Hojlund last time out.
The Dane managed a meagre four Premier League goals, while also disappointing with his overall play. Which is why Ruben Amorim was desperate for a replacement.
However, so far, INEOS have failed to land top targets such as Liam Delap, Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres, and as things stand, even Ollie Watkins could be heading out of their grasp.
Which is why the Denmark international has claimed that he wants to stay and fight for his place in the team, seeing how his current club have failed to replace him thus far.
Rasmus Hojlund not in Amorim’s plans
However, TBR Football have claimed that the 22-year-old already knows that he is not in Amorim’s plans, which means an exit is the best solution for both parties.
Inter Milan have been trying to acquire his signature this summer, but so far, their loan approaches have been rebuffed by the 20-time English league champions, who are hoping for a permanent solution.
“Hojlund knows that he is not serious in the plans of Ruben Amorim, he knows that the club are actively looking for a new number 9.
“Inter Milan have held talks, and Hojlund would be keen but this is ongoing – Hojlund is not actively pushing to leave, but he knows United would not stand in his way and he knows they would ideally like to replace him and that impact on any player.
Will Inter return for him?
“There is still an expectation within the club that he does leave, if they bring another 9 in, as they hope, then it remains highly likely he leaves.”
The ex-Atalanta star remains open to the idea of a return to Italy, but for that to happen, Inter will need to cough up €40-€45 million.
United have already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, and are close to sealing Bryan Mbeumo’s signature from Brentford.
Once Rasmus Hojlund leaves, hopefully, INEOS can land a ruthless replacement, ideally someone who can hit the ground running immediately.
