The Atalanta forward has been on Man United's radar for a long time as they look to sign a striker this summer.

Parkinson: Wrexham boss threatens Man United goalkeeper after star player suffered punctured lung
Wrexham manager Paul Parkinson has described Manchester United's Nathan Bishop as reckless and clumsy after his player was left with a punctured lung.
The Red Devils are in the transfer market for a striker after falling short of goals in the 2022/2023 season.
According to reports, United have sent their first verbal proposal to Atalanta with a fee worth £51 million.

Man Utd's goalkeeper sends Wrexham's star to hospital during preseason friendly
Manchester United were defeated by Wrexham 3-1 in a pre-season friendly in the Snapdragon Cup with a player getting hospitalised.
However, If Hojlund is to be sold this summer, the Italian team is apparently holding out for at least £60 million.
According to Romano Fabrizio on Twitter, “It is understood that Manchester United sent 1st verbal proposal to Atalanta for Rasmus Højlund for €60 million package 🚨🔴.
“The bid structure is €50 million fixed fee plus €10 million add-ons but Atalanta always wanted at least €70 million fee.”
Hojlund only joined Atalanta from Sturm Graz last summer; he still has four years left on his Italian deal.
Nevertheless, United's prospects of signing the 20-year-old striker have been strengthened this week when Atalanta agreed to a contract to sign a replacement. The Danish forward scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for the club last season.
