Earlier on Tuesday, we covered an article in the local Bergamo media urging Atalanta to seriously consider any big offer from Manchester United for Rasmus Højlund.

There was a fear that both sides could end up playing hardball over a transfer, which would then leave little time for the Serie A side to make their moves for a replacement at the back end of the window.

Well, if Sky Italia are to be believed, there might be some developments soon in Manchester United’s pursuit of the Denmark international, especially now that the André Onana transfer is close to being announced.

The Red Devils were focusing all their attention on getting Erik ten Hag the David De Gea replacement he so desperately wanted, and that appears to now be done.

With that in mind, Sky Italia state ‘the assault on Højlund begins’ from Manchester United’s end, who have the young forward ‘in their sights’.

Therefore, ‘contacts are expected soon’ with Atalanta to ‘get to the heart’ of a potential transfer for the young forward, as they seek a ‘possible agreement’ with the Italians for his transfer.

This means we can expect some movement in the coming days for a new striker, as Ten Hag continues the revamp on his squad at Old Trafford.
