Juventus now looking to sell two Manchester United targets to fund Rasmus Hojlund transfer this summer

Manchester United are expected to sign a new striker this summer – and that may lead to Rasmus Hojlund’s exit.

Manchester United simply haven’t scored enough goals this season.

United have scored just 42 times in 35 Premier League games; only five clubs have scored fewer this term.

Ruben Amorim will want more goals next season and United have allegedly held talks over Victor Osimhen.

The Napoli striker is not the only target, though, with United also eyeing Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap.

That may mean Rasmus Hojlund has to move on after enduring a frustrating season at Old Trafford.

Juventus could sell Manchester United target Douglas Luiz to sign Rasmus Hojlund

Hojlund showed real promise last season, hitting 16 goals in all competitions.

The Dane has struggled this season, though, and has scored just nine goals in 47 appearances.

Reports in April suggested that Hojlund is wanted in Italy, having previously shown huge potential for Atalanta.

Tuttosport now claim that Juventus would like to sign Hojlund this summer, and have had him on their radar ‘for some time’.

Juventus need to raise funds for such a move though, with midfielder Douglas Luiz and striker Dusan Vlahovic available.

There is no suggestion of a swap deal, but United will almost certainly have a look at Luiz this summer.

Reports last week suggested Luiz fancies a move to Manchester, with United still interested.

United allegedly moved for Luiz in January, but Juventus wouldn’t let him go having already allowed fellow midfielder Nicolo Fagioli to join Fiorentina.

The Brazilian previously excelled in the Premier League with Aston Villa and United’s need for midfield quality means a player like Luiz will be on the radar.

Luiz’s move to Turin really hasn’t worked out, and with Juventus open to selling in order to fund a move for Hojlund, United could show an interest again.

Don’t forget about Dusan Vlahovic

Luiz will appeal to United, but striker Vlahovic is surely on the radar as well.

United are thought to be eyeing Vlahovic amid uncertainty over his Juventus contract situation.

The Serbian is out of contract next summer and Juventus may cash in before he leaves for nothing.

Vlahovic has hit nine goals in 26 games this season but his proven record in Italy may tempt United.

Recent reports in Italy suggested Juventus could offer Vlahovic in a deal for Hojlund.

Vlahovic is unlikely to be United’s top choice in attack this summer, but he is certainly a name to keep tabs on if Juventus get creative in their move for Hojlund.
