'Cooking' - Manchester United fans sent wild by Rasmus Hojlund video chats with Erik ten Hag

Manchester United supporters are excited about what Erik ten Hag is "cooking up" at Old Trafford after a potential breakthrough with another high-profile transfer target.

As reported, United have agreed personal terms with England international Mason Mount as they step up the push for his signature. No sooner than the dust settled on that news, though, it was revealed by The Manchester Evening News that Ten Hag has also held several video calls with striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund, 20, has earned rave reviews for his performances at Serie A club Atalanta and the Denmark star has made four appearances for the senior national team already - scoring five goals in his last two. He only moved to Italy last summer, but another proposed switch is, seemingly, on the cards for him.

United initially made England captain Harry Kane their primary target in the search for a new goal-getter. However, Ten Hag and key figures in the Old Trafford boardroom are operating under the presumption Tottenham will not sell him when the market reopens. As such, that has opened the door to track Hojlund.

It could yet be a blockbuster summer for Hojlund - and United - as Ten Hag targets at least two major incomings in his ongoing rebuild. Player sales are, meanwhile, expected to dictate further business.

With one eye on the transfer window already, supporters have been sharing their views through social media. Here are a selection of comments - on Hojlund - as taken from Twitter;
