Man Utd could use secret weapon this week in transfer pursuit of striker target

Manchester United could be handed a boost in their pursuit of Rasmus Hojlund thanks to the influence of his Denmark teammate Christian Eriksen.

Erik ten Hag is keen to bolster his front line this summer. The Red Devils have one senior striker at the moment in the form of injury-stricken Anthony Martial following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in December, while Wout Weghorst is set to return to Burnley at the end of his six-month loan spell.

Hojlund has emerged as a potential target, having scored 10 times in 34 matches during his debut campaign at Atalanta. However, United are not the only team interested in the 20-year-old, with several Premier League clubs and other sides across Europe ready to sign the highly-rated forward.
