Hojlund was United’s only recognised centre forward last season, scoring 14 times in his debut campaign following his arrival from Atalanta. To make matters worse, United suffered further injury problems in their pre-season win over Real Betis in the early hours of Thursday morning with Marcus Rashford and Antony forced off. United had been keen to make further reinforcements to the squad with Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee also arriving this summer. But The Daily Telegraph report United could accelerate those plans with Erik ten Hag keen on another option up top after losing Hojlund. United’s latest bid for the Netherlands international was £30m, rejected by Bayern who are looking for a fee of £42m.
