Manchester United might sell striker Rasmus Hojlund for just £30 million, even though they bought him for a much higher price. This move could help them make room for a new striker—RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
Hojlund recently scored twice in a friendly match against Bournemouth in Chicago and said he wants to stay at the club. But his future is now uncertain.
Man United still want to sign Sesko, who is also being watched by Newcastle. People inside the club say they can buy Sesko without selling any player right now, but they might still need to let some players go to follow Premier League money rules.
If Sesko joins, Hojlund may not get as much time on the pitch.
United gave Hojlund a five-year contract when they signed him, and he’s still worth about £43 million on their books. Selling him for £30 million means they would lose a lot of money.
But after already spending nearly £130 million this summer on Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, United might have no choice but to sell.
