Hojlund open to Milan move

Rasmus Hojlund may leave Manchester United on loan to AC Milan as the clubs negotiate a fee, following the signing of Benjamin Sesko.

Hojlund open to Milan move as United push for loan

Manchester United are weighing a potential departure for Rasmus Hojlund as AC Milan push for a loan deal. Milan are rebuilding under coach Massimiliano Allegri and see the 22 year old as a way to add goal threat while they restructure. United, who value Hojlund at around £30 million, would prefer a loan arrangement rather than a permanent switch if possible. The move comes on the back of Benjamin Sesko joining United for a reported 73.62 million pounds, which has intensified questions about Hojlund’s role in the squad. Hojlund was an unused substitute in a recent friendly against Fiorentina, a sign his path to regular playing time at United is uncertain.

It remains unclear if a permanent transfer will materialise. United have signaled readiness to cash in on the forward given their shift in forward planning, while Hojlund has voiced frustration about the possibility of leaving. The situation is complicated by the fact that he is under a five year contract and the club must balance short term needs with long term development. A decision will hinge on loan terms, playing time prospects, and how Milan’s approach fits with United’s broader financial strategy.

This episode highlights how big clubs test a young striker’s patience and ambition in a crowded forward market. Milan’s interest reflects a trend of Italian clubs trading on familiar cities and relationships to rebuild quickly. For United, the choice is a test of asset management under pressure to deliver results while managing a young player’s development. The real question is whether a loan can offer meaningful minutes and future upside, or if a permanent move would better serve both parties. The next weeks will reveal how much weight playing time, contract length, and ambition influence transfers at elite clubs.
