Erik ten Hag ramps up striker search but £50m transfer bid faces Man Utd takeover issue

Erik ten Hag's hopes of bringing Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United could hinge on the club's takeover, it has been claimed.

United are believed to be operating on a summer budget of around £120m, roughly half of which has gone towards bringing Mason Mount to Old Trafford. England international Mount has joined from Chelsea for an initial £55m, which could rise to £60m with add-ons.

Atalanta striker Hojlund is one of the names on the shortlist, with a £50m bid being readied after earlier offers were knocked back. However, with a move for a goalkeeper also being worked on - with Andre Onana looking like the most likely arrival - United face a challenge.
