Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
The 22-year-old has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Benjamin Šeško, and he needs to leave the club to play regularly.
He was quite mediocre with his performances last season, and it is clear that he is not good enough to lead the line for a club like Manchester United. They will be hoping to fight for trophies, and they will also aim to finish in the top four. They needed a quality striker, and they have signed Šeško from RB Leipzig.
The Slovenian will be the first-choice striker at the club this season, and it makes sense for the Denmark international to leave the club. He has been linked with multiple clubs recently, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Returning to his comfort zone in Italy could be ideal for him. Multiple Italian clubs are keeping tabs on his situation.
Ruben Amorim wants Rasmus Hojlund to leave
Meanwhile, former Premier League coach Mick Brown has revealed that Rúben Amorim has told the player to move on this summer. The Portuguese manager does not view him as a key part of his plans, and he does not want Højlund to stay at Manchester United beyond this summer.
Brown said on Football Insider: “Ruben Amorim has told him he has to leave because he doesn’t want him and won’t be using him in any significant capacity this season.
“It’s trying to force him into a move which he doesn’t particularly want to make.
“If it was up to him, I don’t think he would be leaving, because he’s made it clear he wants to stay and fight for his place and that sort of thing.”
Can Hojlund seal Man United exit?
It will be interesting to see if the player can secure a move away from the club. Hojlund needs to get his career back on track with regular football, and leaving Manchester United would be ideal for him. There is no doubt that he remains a talented player with a bright future. At the right club, he might be able to regain his form and confidence. He is still only 22, and he has plenty of time to fulfil his potential.
Manchester United paid a substantial amount of money for him, and it will be interesting to see if they can recoup some of that this summer.
If this is really true, then Amorim has gone down much more in my eye, to treat a young striker like this & basically force him out of Manchester United is absolutely disgusting & disgraceful of a manager & he has certainly gone down in what I thought of him as a manager, this would be a massive mistake of letting Hojlund go, should sell Zirkzee, he is awful & less of a goal scorer than Hojlund will EVER be, Hojlund has looked in preseason while Zirkzee hasn’t played a minute of football, Hojlund WILL be a top world class striker in the future just like Sesko & Gyokeres even famous ex Manchester United players have said they would love to see him play up front WITH Sesko, they would both totally rip defences apart, I seriously don’t see what Zirkzee can do, he is NOT a no 9, he doesn’t have pace, we already have a few no 10s but no number 9s, & you can’t rely on Obi, so who is going to score the goals up front if Sesko is injured, Mount doesn’t work as a false 9, United are cutting their own throats getting rid of Hojlund. Zirkzee has NOTHING special about him, he certainly does NOT stand out as a quality player & will NEVER be a player who will be as good as Hojlund.
As an outsider looking in, I can’t believe that Amorim has been so blunt with him.
He has just not become a bad player overnight. You have to play to a players strengths. Amorim just does not want to play that way. If Utd want to become a successful club again, they are going to have to play a different style.
I only hope that Cunha,Mbuemo do not suffer the same curse that so many good players have suffered after joining them.
