Man United's plan to part ways with Rasmus Hojlund encountered many obstacles when AC Milan suddenly "turned around" at the last minute. Having been closely following the Danish striker for a long time, AC Milan were unable to meet the English team's demands.
Rasmus Hojlund is about to leave Old Trafford
According to Corriere dello Sport, Man United are willing to loan Hojlund to AC Milan for a fee of 4.5 million pounds/season but with a clause to buy immediately after the loan period with a transfer contract valued at around 39 million pounds.
Not accepting these highly binding terms, AC Milan decided to change direction and almost completed the procedure to borrow striker Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen.
The loan deal with AC Milan failed, but Man United received an offer from another Serie A representative for Rasmus Hojlund.
Hojlund's teammates are about to say goodbye to Man United
Napoli - the reigning Serie A champions - have entered negotiations with Man United in search of a replacement for Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian striker who is suffering from a long-term injury. According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the exchanges between Napoli and Hojlund's representative are quite positive as the 22-year-old player is ready to return to Italy.
Hojlund has always asked for a long-term plan, ensuring he will play regularly instead of just a temporary loan solution. Meanwhile, the "Red Devils" want to quickly finish this deal because new signing Benjamin Sesko has arrived and taken the starting position, while coach Ruben Amorim has almost eliminated Hojlund from his new season plan.
Hojlund was not registered to play against Arsenal last weekend
Joining Old Trafford from Atalanta in 2023 on a five-year deal worth £72 million, Hojlund was expected to become Man United's top scorer. However, a lackluster performance with only 10 goals in 52 appearances last season caused Hojlund to lose the trust of both the coaching staff and Man United fans.
Hojlund rarely played during the summer tour, and was not even registered by coach Amorim for the opening match against Arsenal last week.
This is a heavy blow to Hojlund's fragile hope as he wants to stay at Man United to fight for a starting position with Benjamin Sesko and the attacking stars the team has just recruited.

Leaving is not a bad solution to save his career. At the potential destination Napoli, Hojlund has the opportunity to shine alongside reuniting with his old teammate Scott McTominay who just had an extremely successful season here.
The Naples team brought in 8 new players last summer (5 people left in the opposite direction) at a cost of just over 80 million euros, including former Premier League star Kevin de Bruyne who arrived on a free contract.
Manchester United are considering an offer from AS Roma for Jadon Sancho, pending the player agreeing personal terms with the club. The deal is worth around £20m, including over £4m in add-ons, far less than the £73m fee United paid Dortmund a few seasons ago.
Jadon Sancho has no chance of staying at Man United
AS Roma are confident of reaching a personal agreement with Sancho, partly because new signing Leon Bailey - who joined on loan from Aston Villa - tried to convince his close friend Sancho to join the Italian capital team.
