      Hojlund is United’s third signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Mason Mount and Andre Onana.

      The Danish forward scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for Atalanta last season.

      “I am incredibly excited by this opportunity to turn that dream into a reality, and I am determined to repay the faith that the club has shown in me.
      “It is still early in my career, but I know that I am ready to make this step up and play with this group of world-class players.”
      Erik ten Hag will be able to call on Marcus Rashford in Hojlund’s absence.

      Andre Onana was lobbed during the first half against Lens
      Onana completed a £47million move to the Red Devils from Inter Milan earlier this summer.
      However, he had a moment to forget against the French side in his latest appearance.
      Florian Sotoca spotted the Cameroonian off his line during the first half, perfectly lobbing him from the halfway line.
      Onana’s mishap was made worse by the keeper landing in the net as he raced back in an attempt to stop the ball.

      Fans were quick to criticise him on social media after the goal, with some even demanding a refund on the transfer.
      One supporter tweeted: “Can we get a refund on Onana and bring back De Gea.”

      Another wrote: “Lens have just scored from basically the halfway line due to Onana positioning. Oops.”
      Meanwhile, a third fan added: “Onana’s been lobbed from the half way line…. It’s only pre season lads don’t worry.”

      Onana was brought in as a replacement for David de Gea following his exit from the club.
      The Spaniard departed when his contract expired at the end of June, ending his 12-year stay in England.
      Erik ten Hag previously worked with Onana at Ajax, where he made 145 appearances under the Dutchman. More

      Mason Greenwood gets HUGE boost as he bids to return to Manchester United squad ahead of new season

      by

      MASON Greenwood’s teammates would support his return to Old Trafford, it was claimed.Sources say senior players at Manchester United believe the suspended 21-year-old striker has been left in “limbo” after charges including attempted rape were withdrawn.

      Talks over the player’s future continue following the conclusion of a five-month club probe into his arrest.
      But a source said: “All the players believe he deserves a second chance because he’s innocent in the eyes of the law.
      “He didn’t have the opportunity to clear his name in court because the charges were dropped, so the players feel like he has been left in limbo.
      “They know it will be difficult but they are willing to support him through it, and protect him.

      “Some of the younger players came through the academy with him so there’s a loyalty to him.
      “They know he’s made mistakes but the lads who’ve spoken to him say he’s grown up a lot in the past 18 months and will come back a lot wiser.”
      Greenwood, who became a father last month, has been suspended on full pay, around £75,000 a week, since his arrest in January 2022.
      He was charged last October with attempted rape, sexual assault and controlling behaviour, and a trial set for this November.

      But prosecutors withdrew the case in February.
      There is a growing belief at the club that he can now rebuild his career with the new Prem season just a week away. It could see him return, or get loaned abroad.
      We also revealed last week talks about Greenwood with main club sponsor Adidas were “positive”.
      Greenwood, driven by his dad in Manchester yesterday, was valued at around £50million.
      Fans with replica shirts bearing his name were then told they could swap them after his arrest.

      He looked tense today as he sat in the passenger seat of the blue Mercedes.
      The striker has not played for Manchester United since he was arrested in January last year.
      He was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, before the charges were dropped in February.
      Meanwhile, Utd have been conducting their own investigation into the allegations.

      However, since all charges were dropped, Greenwood has been desperate to rebuild his life and wants to resume his footie career at Old Trafford.
      His appearance today comes after Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag spoke about the striker with a decision on the suspended star set to be “made in days”.
      The outcome of these talks, and Greenwood’s future at the Red Devils, is said to be finalised imminently, with the club set to make an announcement within days, according to MailOnline.
      A final decision on Greenwood’s next career move will reportedly be made before United’s opening game of the season against Wolves on August 14.
      Most read in Football
      This comes as a Man Utd expert has revealed his three-point plan for Mason Greenwood.
      Mark Goldbridge, a talkSPORT pundit, gave his opinion after asking fans how they would feel about the striker’s return.
      The football pundit took to Twitter and replied to one fan, he wrote: “Mine is a year loan is obviously the best choice.”
      He continued: “1. Doesn’t cause a s***storm.
      “2. Doesn’t derail our season with media Greenwood obsession.
      “3. The player can focus on returning to football away from the mental pressure of the media and fan backlash. Away games in particular.”
      Goldbridge was speaking after Utd boss Erik ten Hag addressed the situation during United’s pre-season tour.
      Manchester Evening News reported ten Hag was asked if he had spoken to Greenwood recently at the RIMAC Annex at the University of California San Diego on Saturday.
      The Dutchman, 53, replied: “I said everything in New York. I don’t want to answer the question anymore because it’s not different.
      “I’ve shared my opinion and I don’t want to repeat my opinion.”
      Ahead of Utd’s friendly with Arsenal at the MetLife Stadium on July 22, Ten Hag was also questioned about Greenwood.
      He told reporters: “On this, it’s a club decision and of course, I said my opinions but it’s a club decision and we have to accept that.”
      And asked whether he would like to keep Greenwood at the club, the manager added: “I can’t say so much about it but I shared my opinion about it, so let’s see what’s going to happen.”
      The striker’s three options are staying with the Red Devils, moving to another English club or elsewhere in Europe, perhaps on loan.
      It is understood Ten Hag and the majority of the first team are willing to give Greenwood another chance, but a loan move abroad appears to be the most likely option.
      United’s women’s team is also reported to have reservations, while sponsors are also concerned about being linked to the £75,000-a-week player.
      Elsewhere, Rasmus Hojlund will be unveiled as a Manchester United player this week, according to reports.

      Man Utd ‘still want Leon Goretzka transfer with Bayern Munich outcast frozen out under ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are still interested in Leon Goretzka who is no longer Thomas Tuchel’s plans, according to reports. The Red Devils have been keen on the Bayern Munich outcast with Erik ten Hag keeping a close eye on him all summer.

      According to Florian Plettenberg, Man Utd “never lost their focus on Goretzka” who is “on the Premier League club’s list”.
      The 28-year-old has insisted he wants to remain at the Bundesliga champs despite interest from United and also West Ham.
      Goreztka told Sky Germany: ” I have no intention to leave Bayern. I love the club, I love the city, I love the fans.”
      But ex-Chelsea boss Tuchel is said to prefer Joshua Kimmich and Konrad Laimer.

      And Ten Hag hopes that could change the Germany international’s mind.
      Sky Sports in Germany say Tuchel will happily sell Goretzka for around £43m, as they bid to fund their pursuit of Harry Kane.
      United have already recruited a midfielder Mason Mount this summer from Chelsea for £60milllion.
      Goretzka’s contract for the German club is set to run out in 2026 after signing a long-term contract back in 2021.

      The midfielder joined Bayern back in 2019 and has since notched 34 goals and 35 assists across 179 appearances in all competitions for Bayern. 
      After undergoing surgery for a knee injury, he started in 22 Bundesliga matches last season.
      But with the arrival of Laimer from RB Leipzig this summer and with emerging star Ryan Gravenberch pushing for a spot, Goretzka is no longer the main man in Tuchels starting XI.

      Forgotten Man Utd transfer target who kept Cristiano Ronaldo out of team set to replace Kylian Mbappe at PSG

      by

      PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are reportedly set to sign Manchester United transfer target Goncalo Ramos.The young striker shot to fame at the World Cup when he started ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal’s 6-1 victory over Switzerland.

      He is set to replace Kylian Mbappe, who could be on his way out of PSG with the club looking to cash in on him before his contract expires next summerCredit: Getty
      It was the first time five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo hadn’t been picked for a major tournament fixture since 2008.
      And Ramos, now 22, made the most of it as he netted a brilliant hat-trick in the last-16 clash – before keeping his spot for the shock quarter-final loss to Morocco.
      United were instantly linked with for the Benfica star, especially given Ronaldo’s acrimonious departure a month earlier.
      But he now seems destined for PSG, who are in need of a replacement for another global superstar, Kylian Mbappe.

      Mbappe is at loggerheads with the Parisians, and the club are desperate to sell this summer, with Chelsea, Real Madrid and Al-Hilal interested.
      And, according to Fabrizio Romano, they already have Ramos lined up after agreeing a £69m fee with Benfica.
      Ramos – who notched 27 goals and 12 assists for Benfica last season – has reportedly agreed a contract until 2028.
      And the deal could be completed this week, along with the £43m capture of Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele.

      PSG remain committed to getting Mbappe off their books with the forward looking to run down his deal, which would allow him to leave for nothing next summer.
      The club believes the French superstar, 24, has an agreement to join Madrid for free next year.
      PSG are trying to offload their big-money man after he refused to sign a new contract and rejected a world-record transfer to Saudi Arabia.
      It is understood the Ligue 1 champions want around £215m for Mbappe, although few clubs in world football could afford that.
      If no agreement can be reached in the next month, Mbappe faces the real threat of being exiled from the PSG squad. More

      But the big-money signings of Mason Mount and Andre Onana have left United with just £13million of their £120million summer budget.
      In order for Man United to comply with FFP rules and secure their top targets they will have to see out several players.
      Time is not on their side with just under a month left until the transfer window closes.
      Here we run through six players Manchester United could sell to raise funds.

      Eric Bailly looks certain to leave United this summer after a failed loan spell in Marseille.
      Bailly returned to Manchester this summer but was left out of Erik Ten Hag’s pre-season squad.
      His time in England seems to be coming to an end with links to Al Nassr intensifying.
      Another who’s future is up in the air is Dean Henderson who spent last season at Nottingham Forest on loan.

      He was reportedly on his way back to Nottingham this season but talks have gone quiet as Forest target a new keeper.
      Arsenal have reportedly agreed terms with Brentford number one David Raya – while their number two Matt Turner is being linked to Forest which could affect Henderson’s move.

      United would need to make room in their midfield if they want to sign their top target Sofyan Amrabat.
      Fred has been linked to Fulham and a few European clubs have shown interest but Galatasary looks the most likely destination.

      With a year left on his contract United will be hoping to cash in on the Brazilian midfielder to help fund new arrivals.
      Scott McTominay is another midfielder who could be shown the door before the end of this window.
      West Ham have shown interest in the Scotland international as they continue their pursuit to find a Declan Rice replacement.
      United have set their asking price at £40m for McTominay – he will bring in the most money compared to Fred and Donny van de Beek.

      Brandon Williams and Donny van de Beek are unlikely to feature in Ten Hag’s plans this season.
      Williams made a five minute cameo in his one appearance for United last season – against Burnley in their fourth-round Carabao Cup tie.
      Van de Beek is another midfielder not getting regular game time and would benefit from a move away.

      According to Fabrizio Romano Real Sociedad are the only club to approach United for the Dutch international.
      The need to offload players is intensifying with a £75m deal for Atalanta forward Rasmus Holjand nearly over the line – the 20-year old will reportedly complete his medical today. More
