Labelled as the ‘new Erling Haaland’, Hojland has been in sparkling form in 2023, marking his place as one of Europe’s hottest prospects. Having reached the age of 20 only in February, the Dane has already notched up 15 goals for both club and country this year.
Hojland’s physicality, standing at 6ft 4in, coupled with his expert ball control, has drawn comparisons to Haaland. Renowned for his strength and ability to dribble, Hojland’s talent has attracted praise from none other than his coach at Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini.

In addition to securing Hojland’s services, United is also expected to complete the transfer of midfielder Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina for a reported €30 million.
