Rasmus Hojlund breaks silence on £40m Man Utd transfer exit as Inter Milan wait

Rasmus Hojlund has been linked with a £40million transfer back to Italy this summer after struggling for goals with Manchester United, who are bringing in attacking reinforcements

Rasmus Hojlund has insisted that he is fully focused on Manchester United amid reports he could leave for Inter Milan this summer. Like many United players, Hojlund endured a poor 2024/25 campaign and his place in Ruben Amorim’s side is under threat.

United have made it clear that they will listen to offers for any of their players in the summer transfer window and Hojlund has been linked with a £40million move to Inter. He managed just 10 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions for United last season, taking his tally to 26 in 95 games altogether.

The club are bolstering their underperforming front line this summer by signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m, while they are also interested in Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo and Sporting Lisbon goal machine Viktor Gyokeres. Those deals would throw Hojlund’s place in the side into question and Inter have reportedly sensed an opportunity.

It’s reported in Italy that the departures of Joaquin Correa and Marko Arnautovic from Inter could lead to a bid for Hojlund, who still has a good reputation in Italy thanks to his spell at Atalanta.

It’s said that Inter are waiting for a new manager to be in place following Simone Inzaghi’s departure to join Al-Hilal before a decision is taken – but Hojliund has moved to pour cold water on the rumours.

Speaking after playing in Denmark’s 2-1 win over Northern Ireland on Saturday night, he told TV 2 Sport: "I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United. I'm looking forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I'm fully dedicated to the project that's underway.

"I know I can't get much out of reading things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I'm just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good pre-season."

Hojlund joined United in a £72million transfer from Atalanta in August 2023 and has struggled to live up to his price tag. The 22-year-old has had little support from his team-mates in an underperforming side, with fellow youngster Joshua Zirkzee the other central striker on the books.

United would be open to offers for Hojlund, given their interest in signing big-money attackers for Amorim. The Dane was also referenced by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe when discussing the kinds of deals his INEOS group would not sanction.

“If you look at the players we are buying, that we didn’t buy, we’re buying Antony, we’re buying Casemiro, we’re buying [Andre] Onana, we’re buying Hojlund, we’re buying [Jadon] Sancho,” Ratcliffe told BBC Sport. “These are all things from the past, whether we like it or not, we’ve inherited those things and have to sort that out.”
