Manchester United are eyeing a player thought to be the next Erling Haaland \u2013 who will cost them \u00a340 million.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have enjoyed a good season and last night confirmed participation in the Champions League for next season with an emphatic 4-1 victory over\u00a0Chelsea. But despite last night’s goal glut, the striker position has been a difficult one for manager Erik Ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Cristiano Ronaldo infamously departed midseason after falling out with the Dutch manager, who brought Wout Weghorst to\u00a0Manchester United\u00a0on loan as a makeshift solution. United are believed to be interested in bringing a world-class forward in this summer, however, with Harry Kane believed to be the top target.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0the Guardian<\/em>, Victor Osimhen of\u00a0Napoli\u00a0and Rasmus Hojlund of\u00a0Atalanta\u00a0are the two options next on the shortlist for the No.9 spot. Osimhen’s \u00a3130m-odd asking price, however, puts him firmly out of reach.<\/p>\n
That just leaves Hojlund, who has been compared to Norwegian goal sensation Haaland for his similar style. The Dane is just 20 years old and like\u00a0Manchester City’s\u00a0record-breaking forward, is a tall, physical threat in attack and a natural finisher.<\/p>\n
*According to\u00a0The Times<\/em>, Hojlund would set United back \u00a340m, with the Dane being seen as an option for the future rather than someone to set the side alight immediately.<\/p>\n*
While it remains unlikely that United would dedicate enough of their budget to Hojlund and one of Kane or Osimhen, they could find themselves in the scenario they were in when they bought Edinson Cavani on Deadline Day of 2020. United signed the Uruguayan veteran as cover in attack but also brought in Amad Diallo \u2013 from Atalanta, incidentally \u2013 and Facundo Pellistri as options to develop in the coming years.<\/p>\n
