Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini knows they have something special on their hands in Rasmus Hojlund.

Manchester United have submitted an offer for the Dane, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona also keen.

Speaking after victory over Roma last night, Gasperini enthused to BILD: "Technically and in many other aspects, I have almost never seen such a strong striker at the age of 20.

"Nevertheless, he has great room for development. In several situations such as in the aerial game, in the box or the last pass. He can get better there.

"When you see a player at that level, the top European clubs will flock around him, and there will be offers that are difficult for Atalanta to turn down."
