Manchester United are stepping up their interest in Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.
United boss Erik ten Hag has made Tottenham striker Harry Kane his No 1 target - but Spurs are determined not to sell to a Premier League rival. That has left United looking at other options and Denmark centre forward Hojlund is quickly emerging as a leading candidate and is available for around £40m.
Hojlund, 20, has earned comparisons to Erling Haaland because of his powerful 6ft 1in frame and he has also scored 15 goals in his first season in Italy with Atalanta. United are likely to face competition as there is interest from other Premier League clubs including Chelsea.
