There is widespread speculation that Manchester United will make a massive transfer bid to get Benjamin Sesko, an attacker currently playing for RB Leipzig.
In the event that United and the Bundesliga club come to an agreement, Rasmus Hojlund might find himself relegated to a lower position in the hierarchy or perhaps given the opportunity to leave the club.
In an interview with the media on Wednesday, after scoring a goal in United’s friendly match against AFC Bournemouth, which they won 4-1, Hojlund disclosed that he intends to remain with the club and continue to compete for his position.
In a statement that was reported by The Athletic, he stated, “I believe my plan is very clear, and that is for me to stay and fight for my spot, regardless of my circumstances.”
“I have no problem with competition since it helps me become more sharp. In every way, I am prepared. Since I am in a good mood, I am ready to take on anything that may come my way.
In spite of playing 32 times in the Premier League during the previous season, Hojlund only managed to score four goals.
In addition, his deputy Joshua Zirkzee was unable to find his footing as a number nine, which compelled Amorim to add more players to the attack this summer.
Hojlund acknowledged that he has not yet demonstrated his complete potential to the fans of United.
His statement was, “I am still very young.” There are moments when I believe people forget that. I am only 22 years old.
When it comes to the fundamentals, I am beginning to develop and improve even further. As of right now, all that is left for me to do is hone my skills, and I have been performing exceptionally well in the preseason so far.
Because United’s schedule is shortened, it will be difficult for Amorim to distribute playing time among the three centre strikers. This is because there is no European football on the horizon of United.
Because United will need to pay more than seventy million pounds to acquire Sesko, it is possible that one of Hojlund and Zirkzee may be sold in order to achieve financial stability.
During this transfer window, the Red Devils have already made a substantial investment of 130 million pounds on new players Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia are also on the club’s list of players under consideration for permanent transfers.
