Manchester United are about to enter the final week of the transfer window and there are still plenty of deals to be done.
Gary Lineker gives Rasmus Hojlund verdict as Manchester United transfer close
05.08.2023 - 10:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Gary Lineker is 'not convinced' that Rasmus Hojlund will make an instant difference at Manchester United but has backed the club's other two arrivals, Andre Onana and Mason Mount.
Hojlund will be unveiled as a United player on Saturday afternoon when his new club face RC Lens in a friendly at Old Trafford. The 20-year-old has been in the UK since Tuesday afternoon, following the agreement of a £72million deal - an initial £64m plus £8m add-ons - with Atalanta last weekend.
He will follow Mount and Onana through the door as United's summer spend rises above £160m, with Erik ten Hag able to fill the three major gaps in his squad before the new season kicks off. But while Lineker is excited to see the first two, he is less sure about Hojlund.

"I’m really looking forward to seeing Manchester United’s new goalkeeper Andre Onana," Lineker told the Sun. The Cameroonian, from Inter Milan, is excellent with the ball at his feet and I’m interested to see how that changes the way Erik ten Hag’s side build up from the back.
"Onana’s greatest strength was David de Gea’s real weakness. Sure, Onana will make some cock-ups but the benefits of having a keeper who can play will outweigh those moments when he gets things wrong.
"Mason Mount is another good signing. He’s an underrated player because a lot of what he does goes under the radar — he presses so well and works hard. He dipped at Chelsea last year but so did everyone at Stamford Bridge. He needs this fresh start.
"United have spent a lot of money on 20-year-old Danish
