Who is Rasmus Hojlund? Background, titles, goals, everything you need to know about Manchester United's newest signingDAZN
The Danish international's arrival at Old Trafford is imminent.

Manchester United are set to bolster their attack with the signing of the Atalanta forward Rasmus Hojlund. 

The Danish international has been on Erik ten Hag's radar throughout this summer's transfer window, and despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Hojlund always had his heart set on playing his football at the Theatre of Dreams. 

Making his first team debut at the age of 17 for Copenhagen in October 2020, Hojlund then went onto join Austrian club Sturm Graz in January 2022, before making a move to Atalanta in Serie A the following August. 

Now a stint in the Premier League beckons, and if managed correctly, Hojlund has the ability to become one of the English top flight's most dangerous forwards, but he cannot let the huge expectations of a huge club such as United affect his performances. 

How much was Rasmus Hojlund's move to Man United? 

Rasmus Hojlund joins Manchester United from Atalanta on deal worth an initial £64m with a further £8m in add-ons. 

The contract is set to last five years with an option of an additional 12 months.
