Erik ten Hag has completed the first phase of his Manchester United rebuild.
Rasmus Hojlund is moving to Old Trafford from Atalanta for a fee which could rise to £72million. United have been in dire need of a quality central striker to lead the line and share the load with Marcus Rashford in the goal-scoring department and they have finally got their man.
The massive fee takes United's outlay this summer to an eye-watering £179.2m in addition to the £220m Ten Hag spent on upgrading the rabble of a squad he inherited last year. It's a whole lot of spending but the Dutchman has completely transformed the look of his side over the last 12 months.
