Man Utd handed huge transfer boost as ‘TWO top targets want to join’ as Erik ten Hag strengthens squad for title push | The Sun
MANCHESTER UNITED have been handed a huge transfer boost as TWO top targets are reportedly interested in joining the club.
Manager Erik ten Hag is keen on mounting a charge for the Premier League title next season but knows he needs a stronger squad to compete with rivals Man City.
The Dutchman wants to improve his striker and centre-back options as a priority this summer transfer window.
Man United have been linked with Tottenham's Harry Kane, but there is also an interest in signing a younger striker to provide competition.
Now Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund is keen on joining the club, according to the Mirror.
The Dane has enjoyed a breakout year in Serie A with the Bergamo side by netting nine goals in 32 league appearances.

He is already a fully-fledged international and has scored five goals in his first four games for his national side.
It is thought that a bid of £43million would be enough to convince the Italian outfit to cash in on the striker that cost them just £14m to buy from Austrian side Strum Graz last summer.
Hojlund has previously admitted to being a "huge fan" of the Red Devils.
The report also claimed that defensive target Axel Disasi is keen on switching to Old Trafford.
