Manchester United's 'players-plus-cash offer for Rasmus Hojlund is rejected'

  /  autty

Manchester United's attempts to reduce Rasmus Hojlund's £86million price tag with a players-plus-cash offer has been rebuffed by Atalanta, a new report claims.

Hojlund, 20, is widely seen as one of the most promising young players in Europe and United are said to have made him their No 1 striker target this summer.

But United do have budget constraints to work with and having already spent £60m of their £120m on Mason Mount, Erik ten Hag and United's bosses have reportedly offered up players as part of the package to Atalanta.

The Athletic report that Atalanta have rejected it out of hand and have made it plain to United that they want a cash-only deal, if Hojlund, who scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for the Italian side last season, departs.
