According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United wants to close out the transfer window with a bang and may be close to completing a significant departure before turning their attention to their remaining business.
Manchester United prepare for Grimsby Town trip
The stage is set for an interesting match at Blundell Park as Manchester United, who haven’t been able to secure European football for 11 years, travel to play Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup second round.
A number of periphery players will have the opportunity to give Ruben Amorim some food for thought following a dismal Premier League start in which they have only managed one point out of a possible six.
With the majority of the season still to come, Patrick Dorgu is opting to maintain optimism, asserting that his team is totally focused on their goal of making a comeback to continental football this year.
“The facilities help,” he told BBC Sport. New signings, in my opinion, have also been beneficial. They infuse the group with a great deal of positive energy and quality.
“This season, everyone has something to prove. We must remain united, remain joyful and upbeat, and make an effort to follow the coach’s instructions if we want to return to Europe.”
In any case, while the Red Devils continue to pursue Carlos Baleba, a midfielder for Brighton & Hove Albion, it is hoped that additional fresh players will be added before the window closes.
However, departures will be required in order to guarantee that the club has sufficient funds to bring in new players. Chelsea and Roma are still keeping tabs on Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho, respectively.
According to recent events, the Red Devils are starting to shift the needle in that direction and may soon be ready to shed another big earner.
Napoli in final stages of Rasmus Hojlund negotiations
Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United is reportedly very close to signing a loan agreement to join Napoli, but he will actually depart permanently because of a £39 million mandatory purchase option, which would significantly increase the transfer funds, according to Fabrizio Romano on X.
The £85,000-per-week earner is expected to sign a contract with the Serie A holders through 2030; the only thing left to do is work out the “exit terms” agreement before a deal can be approved.
The Denmark international, who has made 95 appearances for the Red Devils, has struggled to recapture his best form at Old Trafford, tallying 26 goals and six assists. However, Hojlund has fallen in the hierarchy since Benjamin Sesko joined.
Manchester United intends to use its earnings to make new hires, although it is unclear if all sides can agree on terms before the deadline.
