Atalanta was urged to give any significant offer from Manchester United for Rasmus Hjlund earlier on Tuesday, according to a piece we previously covered in the local Bergamo media.
There was concern that both parties might end up stalling a transfer, which would leave the Serie A team with little time to make moves for a replacement at the tail end of the window.
In any case, if Sky Italia is to be believed, there may be some developments soon in Manchester United’s pursuit of the Danish international, particularly now that the André Onana transfer is almost ready to be announced.
Erik ten Hag’s long-term goal of having David De Gea replaced by a new custodian was the sole focus of the Red Devils, and it appears that goal has been accomplished.
Since Manchester United has the young forward “in their sights,” Sky Italia reports that “the assault on Hjlund begins” from their end.
Since they are looking for a “possible agreement” with the Italians for the young forward’s transfer, “contacts are expected soon” with Atalanta to “get to the heart” of a potential transfer for him.
As Ten Hag continues to restructure his squad at Old Trafford, this means that we can anticipate some movement in the coming days for a new striker.
