Manchester United are preparing to open the formal bidding for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The Red Devils are eager to sign a new centre forward, with the Denmark talent their prime target.

Per The Mail, United will set a specific fee for Hojlund that they will not go above.

The two parties are hoping they can find an agreement, but Atalanta will play hardball.

In addition, United are assessing Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir as a backup to Andre Onana.

Given veteran Tom Heaton wants to leave for regular football, United may replace him with a more willing no.2.
