Manchester United are confident of signing Rasmus Hojlund before the Premier League begins.

United first take on Wolves on August 18th on a Monday, with the league season starting over the preceding weekend.

Per the Manchester Evening News and other English sources, United are confident they can get Hojlund over the line.

The club are negotiating with Italian side Atalanta to secure the young striker's signature.

United believe that despite only being 20 and scoring nine goals last term, Hojlund can lead their line.

He has the physicality and technique that manager Erik ten Hag wants in a forward.
