According to reports, Manchester United may now make Rasmus Hojlund an offer in a summer trade to sign an immediate upgrade for Ruben Amorim and his team. The way Harry Maguire looked considerably more dangerous in the starting lineup than players like Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee against Nottingham Forest could have perfectly captured Manchester United’s attacking issues.
The central defender provided the physical presence that Hojlund and Zirkzee would not normally have, and he even moved with the attacking intelligence that neither forward has been able to demonstrate this season.
Questions have been raised about the 22-year-old’s future as a result. Thanks to Crystal Palace, a solution that works for everyone might be on the horizon. Given United’s desire to sign Mateta in the summer, Hojlund might go the other way as a makeweight.
Mateta’s potential for Manchester United is obvious, and L’Equipe claims that negotiations for a €50 million transfer have already begun. He is not the usual type of player that Ineos is looking for at Old Trafford, but he wants to join the team and is a good match for the Red Devils.
Man Utd Eyes Swap Deal Involving Hojlund and Mateta
While Hojlund and Zirkzee have had a difficult season, Jean-Philippe Mateta has been on the rise and could still be headed to Old Trafford as a result.
Football Transfers claims that Manchester United may even make Rasmus Hojlund a surprise trade bid in order to get Mateta this summer, providing Amorim with an immediate fix for his offensive issues. The Dane obviously has to get back on the goal track in order to rebuild confidence, to start with.
Not only is he a better player than he has been in previous weeks and months, but he is also the kind of player who would benefit from leaving Manchester United. Data analytics company SciSports claims that Crystal Palace is the best place for him to go in the Premier League.
Palace is a good fit to get Hojlund back on his feet right away because of their style and system, giving him plenty of playing time even though they don’t rank highly in terms of Hojlund realizing his best version.
