Manchester United are finalising details on Marcus Rashford's contract but hope for a breakthrough over a new striker.
Talks are continuing over their main targets Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta and Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt with Erik ten Hag eager to have a new striker in place for pre-season training.
United's budget will not stretch to a top striker and a goalkeeper so soundings have been made over cheaper alternatives to Inter Milan's keeper Andre Onana with Justin Bijlow of Feyenoord and Kevin Trapp of Frankfurt in the mix but talks have still to advance.
A takeover would give United the chance to sign a striker then return to Onana later in the window while they also hope to raise funds with sales such as Fred who is on Fulham's list of options.
Ethan Laird has joined Birmingham City for £750,000 while a decision will be taken soon on Mason Greenwood, although a mooted move to Roma is considered unlikely.
Hojlund is admired by United after a strong breakthrough season at Atalanta in Serie A where his season exploits gained him a reputation as one of Europe's brightest attacking prospects.
The Denmark talent scored nine league goals in 32 appearances as Atalanta finished fifth in the Italian top-flight and qualified for next season's Europa League competition.
At just 20-years-old, Hojlund is a player for the future and would hand United a promising solution to their goalscoring problems, although Muani is another alternative fit.
The Frankfurt striker enjoyed a strong season for the Bundesliga club, bagging 23 goals and registering 17 assists in all competitions.
A strong spell at the end of last year saw him score six goals in six German top-flight matches, while also impressing in the Champions League.

Erik Ten Hag should give play time to Academy Youngsters who had been loaned to other clubs from different leagues, and, those Academy Youngsters who had been on the bench since the beginning of last season...

I think Hojlund will join united. Greenwood may not play for Man United just yet. I think Amad Diallo will stick around to fight for his place in the team next season to prove last season's heroics with Sunderland wasn't a fluke. My thoughts tho.

its not just abt signing players anyhow.
than it's about what? even man city the treble winners are strengthening the squad, than what's about man utd, all is well right? Right now as it stands, utd needs goal keeper, Dm, and strikers to be able to stand the onslaught that will be launch by her opponents

I think Man utd has a very weak negotiating team. Imagine, Chelsea and Liverpool aren't in the Champion league but they are progressing with more signing than utd who is a CL candidate. This is disturbing for us utd fans

I prefer Randal Kolo Muani to Rasmus Hojlund.
If we can bring both, let’s do it. But I agree Kolo is a force for recon 💪🏿
