Manchester United could be facing a major shift in their attacking lineup as reports emerge that Rasmus Hojlund may be on his way out of Old Trafford this summer. The Danish forward, who joined the club amid high expectations, is reportedly preparing for an early exit — and the catalyst may be United’s pursuit of RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko.
Benjamin Sesko Transfer Links Heat Up
Over the past few days, Manchester United have intensified their interest in Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko, who has been making waves in the Bundesliga with his clinical finishing and smart movement. The Red Devils are believed to be in advanced talks to bring the 21-year-old to Old Trafford, with reports suggesting they are ahead of Premier League rivals Newcastle United in the race for his signature.
United view Sesko as a long-term solution to their goalscoring issues — a fresh face to lead the line as Erik ten Hag aims to rebuild a more consistent and deadly attack.
Hojlund’s Future in Jeopardy
While the potential signing of Sesko excites fans, it has reportedly unsettled Rasmus Hojlund, who fears that his place in the starting lineup will be jeopardized. According to Corriere Dello Sport, the young Dane is seriously considering a move away from Manchester United if Sesko arrives this summer.
At just 21, Hojlund is eager for regular first-team football to continue his development. However, the competition brought by Sesko’s arrival could limit his game time — something he is reportedly unwilling to accept.
AC Milan Showing Strong Interest
Hojlund’s representatives have wasted no time in exploring alternatives, with Italian giants AC Milan quickly emerging as a potential destination. The Rossoneri are in the market for a new striker following Olivier Giroud’s departure, and manager Massimiliano Allegri is said to be an admirer of Hojlund’s dynamic playing style and physical attributes.
Sources close to the situation claim that talks are already underway between Milan and Manchester United, with discussions focusing on a potential loan move to bring Hojlund to the San Siro.
Milan Push for Loan Deal, United Prefer Permanent Exit
However, there seems to be a clash in terms of transfer preferences. AC Milan are reportedly only interested in securing Hojlund on a one-year loan deal, with an option to buy at the end of the season. Manchester United, on the other hand, are open to letting him go permanently if the right offer comes in — especially if the funds can be used to finalize the Sesko deal.
At this stage, it remains to be seen whether a compromise can be reached. Still, it’s clear that Rasmus Hojlund’s future at Manchester United hangs in the balance, and the next few weeks could be crucial in determining where he plays next season.
