Hojlund has emerged as a top target for Erik ten Hag, and talkSPORT understands that United are pursuing a deal after pulling out of the race for Harry Kane.
Well, Hojlund may be a step closer to the Premier League after his trainers posted a cheeky video on Instagram full of hints.
ENERGETICX Copenhagen posted a video of the 20-year-old in action, and added the caption: “We ready for what’s next,” which was followed by a shushing emoji.
The video also included Toxic Trait by Stormzy playing over it, with the UK Grime star a well-known fan of United.
It’s understood that talks have already taken place over a deal for the striker, who would be a more affordable option than Kane with a price tag of £40-£50million.
Hojlund played his first season for Atalanta last time out, registering 10 goals and two assists in 34 games.
Loosely compared to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland due to his stature and position, Hojlund is so far showing his capabilities on a level playing field at international level.
In four games for Denmark during Euro 2024 qualifying, Hojlund has a whopping six goals, the most of any player, and twice as many as Norway’s Haaland.
