DRIVING A HAG BARGAIN

United boss won't budge on £60M Hoilund valuation in Atalanta stalemate

- DAVID McDONNELL

FROM  in San Diego @DiscoMirror RASMUS HOJLUND is still the top target in Manchester United's hunt for a striker - but the club refuse to pay more than £60million for him.

Serie A Atalanta want £80m for the 20-year-old, but United view that figure unrealistic and are not as wholly prepared to budge from their valuation.

Although Hojlund remains Erik ten Hag's first-choice target, United will not be held to ransom by the Italian club and are looking at other options to strengthen their forward line.

United are also looking at Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani and Ajax's versatile forward Mohammed Kudus if there is no compromise on the asking price for Hojlund.
