Manchester United may have a hidden advantage in negotiations to sign Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.
United are desperate to sign a striker this summer, with Anthony Martial currently the only recognised centre-forward at the club. Wout Weghorst did not adequately replace Cristiano Ronaldo on loan in the second half of last season and Erik ten Hag now wants a long-term solution.
Mirror Football understands that United want to loan Mason Greenwood to Atalanta to help facilitate a transfer for Hojlund. They hope he could be signed for a fee in the region of £40million, despite being under contract with the Italian side until June 2027 following a move from Sturm Graz last year.
