Manchester United have reportedly decided on the price tag for striker Rasmus Hojlund as speculation grows about his future at Old Trafford.
The Danish forward made the switch from Atalanta to United in the summer of 2023, joining in a deal worth £64 million plus an additional £8 million in potential bonuses. With his reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young attackers, expectations were high, but he has struggled to consistently live up to the hype since his arrival.
Now 22, Hojlund has managed 24 goals in 82 appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions, a return that has left both the club and its fans wanting more. His mixed form has raised doubts about whether he will remain at Old Trafford beyond the upcoming transfer window.
According to reports from Italy, Napoli are keen to explore the possibility of signing him, but they face a major stumbling block. United are said to have set an asking price of around £50 million, a figure that may prove too steep for the Serie A side.
Meanwhile, former United defender Jaap Stam has weighed in on the striker’s struggles, pointing the finger at manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical approach. Speaking to Makthavarse.se, Stam suggested that Hojlund has been limited by the system, claiming he often goes long stretches without meaningful involvement in games. He argued that the lack of crosses and chances created for the forward makes it nearly impossible for him to demonstrate his true quality.
United’s next test comes on April 1, when they face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in a crucial Premier League fixture.
