Atalanta chief Percassi: We couldn't block Hojlund from Man Utd sale

Atalanta chief Luca Percassi has revisited their sale of Rasmus Hojlund to Manchester United.

Percassi admits they couldn't stand in the Dane's way as United came calling.

"We are certainly satisfied with the work we did with Højlund," he said.

"It was the right thing to do that Atalanta made the boy happy, as that an offer came from one of the biggest clubs in the world."

La Dea sold Hojlund in August for a fee rising to €80m.
