MU officials are ready to cut big losses to push Rasmus Hojlund away from Old Trafford in the final weeks of the summer transfer window.
According to The Sun, MU agreed to sell the Danish striker for only 30 million pounds.
This price is less than half of the more than 70 million pounds that MU spent to recruit Hojlund from Atalanta in the summer of 2023.
The new figure given by MU is also 5 million pounds lower than the final days of the 2024/25 season.
Although Hojlund still wants to stay and fight for a starting position, the Red Devils' board of directors no longer has much patience.
The 22-year-old striker has failed to live up to expectations in two seasons, scoring just 16 goals in 59 appearances in all competitions.
In addition, the sports department at Carrington center assessed that Hojlund lacked the necessary courage and sharpness of a striker in the Premier League.
The decision to sell Hojlund is considered a strategic move to pave the way for the recruitment of Benjamin Sesko - coach Ruben Amorim's top target in this summer's transfer window.
MU is at a clear disadvantage as Newcastle made the first move, sending an offer of up to 70 million pounds for the Slovenian striker and is highly appreciated by RB Leipzig.
Therefore, MU leaders must act soon to hope to have Sesko. On one hand, the Red Devils contact RB Leipzig, on the other hand, try to liquidate Hojlund - who is closely followed by AC Milan and Juventus.
That also means MU must accept a loss of more than 40 million pounds from the Hojlund deal - one of the biggest transfer mistakes in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
