Rasmus Hojlund ‘completes first Manchester United interview’ with transfer confirmation imminent

Rasmus Hojlund has conducted his first interview as a Manchester United player after passing a medical.

The 20-year-old is set to become Erik ten Hag's third summer signing, after Mason Mount and Andre Onana, after a deal worth a remarkable €75m (£64m) plus £10m (£8m) in add-ons was on the weekend agreed with Atalanta.

Hojlund said goodbye to his former team-mates soon after and on Tuesday flew into Manchester to finalise the move, having already agreed a five-year deal, with the option of an additional year.

United made Hojlund their no1 transfer target after previous first-choice Harry Kane made it clear he was not interested in joining a Premier League rival.

Fabrizio Romano says Hojlund has now completed the routine medical tests and the first part of his media duties ahead of likely being unveiled on Wednesday.

Hojlund is in line to make his debut on the weekend, with United having a friendly double-header against Lens, at Old Trafford on Saturday, and Athletic Bilbao, at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Sunday.
