According to Manchester Evening News, the plan to launch Rasmus Hojlund has changed in the near future
Rasmus Hojlund is about to become a Man Utd man. This deal costs the Red Devils a large amount of money. Accordingly, Man Utd must spend 75 million euros in fixed fees and an additional 10 million euros in surcharges, bringing the total price to 85 million euros for this deal.
Notably, Man Utd was forced to delay and cannot announce Hojlund’s signature right now. Reporter Fabrizio Romano confirmed: “Man Utd plan to launch Hojlund this weekend. Visa and employment contract are being finalized.”
According to the Manchester Evening News, the 20-year-old arrived in Carrington later than expected. Initially, the Reds planned for Hojlund to meet some fans – similar to Mason Mount, while also performing media duties for the team’s website and social platforms.
However, Man Utd canceled the plan after Hojlund’s late arrival disrupted the day’s schedule and an alternative plan was devised.
Specifically, Man United considers debuting Hojlund in a friendly against Lens this Saturday. The Denmark international can meet the fans for the first time by entering the field before the game starts or after the first half.
This is similar to the appearance of Raphael Varane before the opening match of the 2021/22 season against Leeds United. 10 minutes before the match, Man United let Varane out to greet the audience, adding to the bustling atmosphere.
Similar plans are for Hojlund this weekend.
