Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund is on the brink of signing for Manchester United

<p>

Manchester United have reportedly come to an agreement with Atalanta to sign their highly-rated striker Rasmus Hojlund. </p>

<p>

Having wrapped up the signings of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount and Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana, a deal has been struck for the highly-rated 20-year-old. </p>

<p>

United are understood to have agreed to pay £64million for Hojlund, with a further £8million in add-ons. </p>

<p>

The Denmark international has agreed terms on a five-year deal with the option of a further season. </p>

<p>

Hojlund is seen by the Old Trafford giants as a rough diamond who can be polished by Erik ten Hag, who made no secret of the need for attacking help after Wednesday's 2-0 friendly loss to Real Madrid. </p>

<p>

The Dutchman's side failed to score from any of their 14 attempts under the NRG Stadium roof, an all too familiar tale given their problems taking opportunities last season. </p>

<p>

Asked if the attacking display in Houston emphasised why they are looking to sign a new striker, Ten Hag said: "Absolutely. </p>

<p>

"There were two things - the pressing can be better from the start and scoring goals. </p>

<p>

"I think we need more players who are capable to be in the one-on-ones and we had the situations of one-on-ones. </p>

<p>

"It was (Marcus) Rashford, it was, I thought, Scott McTominay in one-on-one situations. (Alejandro) Garnacho, a one-on-one situation. From the situations, you have to score." </p>
