Manchester United have struggled with goal-scoring problems thus far this season, netting only 28 times in 24 Premier League encounters.
Amad Diallo is the highest scorer with six goals, Marcus Rashford was third in this list with four but he has now been loaned out to Aston Villa until the end of this season. Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund are the center-forward options but they have scored only five goals combined.
News – Man Utd prepared to submit offer for signing after rivals bid £24.9million – Report
United hired the Dane ahead of last campaign after being impressed by his displays for Atalanta. He even showcased glimpses of his qualities for the Red Devils last term, scoring 15 goals in the Premier League and the Champions League.
However, he has seemingly regressed this campaign. So, TEAMtalk now state that Ruben Amorim has been unimpressed by him and United are ready to cash-in on him if he can’t turn his form around before the end of this season.
Man Utd purchased him for £72m but are prepared to take a £32m loss and sell him for a fee of around £40m.
West Ham United have expressed their interest in signing him as an alternative option to Evan Ferguson.
He has joined the Hammers on a loan deal until the end of this term and there isn’t any purchase option clause included in this move.
Hojlund is a talented player and has just turned 22, but patience is running out at Man Utd, who immediately need a clinical finisher up front.
The former Atalanta boy has not been able to handed the pressure at Old Trafford, and West Ham could be a better destination for him as the pressure would be less there. Therefore, parting ways could be the right decision for both parties. What do you think?
