Ruben Amorim has left the door to a Rasmus Hojlund departure wide open this summer, despite the Manchester United striker’s goal against Bournemouth. Rasmus Hojlund opened the scoring in United’s impressive 4-1 win at Soldier Field in Chicago with a glancing header amid the club’s efforts to sign Benjamin Sesko.
The Red Devils have reportedly chosen Sesko as their priority striker target over Ollie Watkins as Amorim looks to complete an attacking overhaul. Hojlund’s future has subsequently fallen into serious doubt, and there is said to be interest from multiple suitors.
The United No. 9 was among the club’s players who endured a dismal 2024/25 season, scoring just four Premier League goals.
But he has shown glimpses of improvement in pre-season so far and reminded Amorim of his goalscoring pedigree against Bournemouth.
After full-time, when quizzed over his striker situation, Amorim stressed that he was satisfied with Hojlund’s progression.
However, the Portuguese head coach undoubtedly hinted that United’s plans to sign a new striker were in full flow by failing to confirm the Denmark international’s status.
