Hojlund completes medical as £72m Man Utd move grows nearer

Rasmus Hojlund has completed his medical with Manchester United ahead of a £72m move from Atalanta, and could be unveiled during their friendly with Lens on Saturday.

The Atalanta striker is expected to sign a five-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.

The deal for Hojlund is worth an initial £64m, plus £8m in performance-related add-ons. Atalanta went into negotiations wanting £77m guaranteed.

A formal announcement of his signing could come this weekend, with a chance the 20-year-old may be presented during their friendly against Lens.

United also face Athletic Bilbao on Sunday - which may give him enough time to feature in their final pre-season game.
