The international player from Denmark had been expected to make his debut against Lens this weekend, but the move was ultimately postponed because of his later-than-anticipated arrival in Manchester.

But now that a deal has been reached, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano claims that the player will be introduced to the Old Trafford audience before the game against Lens.

Theoretically, Hojlund might be available for Man United’s friendly

As the club’s top target in the final third of the field, the Dane has been heavily linked with a move to the Red Devils during the summer transfer window.

Both Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur and Victor Osimhen of Napoli were named as targets, but it quickly became apparent that Man United would not be a genuine contender for either.

In the Red Devils’ 2023–24 Premier League opening against Wolverhampton Wanderers on August 14, Hojlund may make his professional debut.

Atalanta agreed to lower their asking price in the closing phases of the discussions, and it is estimated that the package to bring the forward to Man United will cost roughly €70 million (£60.1 million).

In 34 games in Italian football last season, the striker, who only joined Atalanta from Sturm Graz last year, scored 10 goals and recorded four assists.

According to a recent source, Ten Hag does not necessarily see the young player as a center-forward and thinks he can operate across the attack.

Man United would therefore be looking to add another attacker before the transfer season closes, however, the team first needs to let go of some undesired players.

Among those being connected with departures are Harry Maguire, Fred, and Donny van de Beek, while Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina might purportedly be confirmed as the team’s fourth summer addition very soon.
