RASMUS HOJLUND 

The 20-year-old is now United’s principal striker target. Erik ten Hag held video calls with Hojlund in May and the United football director John Murtough has spent an extensive amount of time with Atalanta officials discussing a possible deal, as well as a potential loan for Mason Greenwood in the opposite direction.

It has not been publicised yet but agency sources say Hojlund is now effectively represented by Kees Vos, who is also Ten Hag’s agent. Vos has already overseen the transfer of Zidane Iqbal out of United to FC Utrecht, having taken over the representation of the Iraq international in May.

HARRY KANE 

Originally Ten Hag’s preferred  target, the Reds have gone cold on Kane amid discouragement from Tottenham, still adamant he will not be sold to another Premier League club.
