Manchester United are preparing a new bid to hire the services of Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in the summer transfer window.
According to an exclusive report covered by Alfredo Pedulla, Man Utd could come up with an offer worth £51.7m (inclusive of add-ons) to lure the 20-year-old striker.

The famous Italian journalist has revealed the Serie A side want at least a fixed fee of £51.7m plus other objectives to sell their prized asset.
It is reported that the gap is close therefore the negotiations will carry on as the Red Devils increasingly press to secure Hojlund.
As far as the player’s preference is concerned, he has made it clear he wants to move to Old Trafford. However, the youngster wants to respect Atalanta and does not want to ruin the relationship with them.
Since moving to Italy, the Danish international, who has six goals in as many games for his country, has only netted 10 goals and provided 4 assists in 34 appearances for the Bergamo side.
