Rasmus Hojlund is on the radar for Manchester United this summer to fill their striker vacancy this summer.
United went into the summer with the need to add a new centre forward at the top of their summer shopping list. United have made one signing so far this transfer window, with the addition of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount to Erik ten Hag's side.
The goalkeeping position is another key area of the squad United must strengthen this summer, made all the more important following David de Gea's departure. Inter Milan's Andre Onana is the prime target for the Reds.

But though other areas of the squad have already been or look like soon to be strengthened, adding a new striker is a must for this summer. The experiences of last season are a clear lesson for United that this must be done.
After Cristiano Ronaldo's abrupt departure in November, United signed Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley in January. But the striker only found the back of the net twice and failed to score in the Premier League.
Marcus Rashford broke the 30-goal barrier for the first time in his career last season. However, he scored double what the next top scorer in United's ranks did in the 2022/23 campaign and the Old Trafford club will aim to be not as reliant on the England man's goals in the future.
Several names are on United's shortlist for striking reinforcements this summer. As well as Atalanta's Hojlund, Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur, Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt
