Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has decided to make a move for Rasmus Sigurdsson, 20, from Atalanta.
United have been slow in their summer signings. The club has struggled to secure funds as the sale of the Glazer family has been delayed. So far, Mason Mount is the only player to complete a deal. The impending signing of Andre Onana (Inter Milan) remains frustrating.
A much-needed frontline striker continues to elude them. Harry Kane (Tottenham) was initially Van Gaal’s top choice, but Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy opposed the move and eventually withdrew from the race.토토사이트
Several candidates have since emerged. The likes of Dusan Blagojevich (Juventus) and Randal Coro Mourinho (Frankfurt) were also linked with Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi (Porto).
After a frustrating transfer window, United finally landed a new striker. The man in question is Høyerlund. The Danish striker has been compared to Elling Holland (Man City) because of his good physicality and pace at 6-foot-4. He is very active in the penalty box, with excellent decision-making skills. He’s the type of player who can shake up a defense with his forward movement.
He has been in Atalanta’s colors this season after stints with Copenhagen and Stuttgart Graz. Atalanta spent €17 million (approximately $2.4 billion) to acquire him. He has impressed in 31 Serie A games this season, scoring eight goals.
Although he is a talented player, United’s reason for signing him is money. British ‘Talk Sport’ reported on July 7 (KST), “Van Gaal believes that signing Hui Lun is the cheapest option. There are discussions about the transfer fee,” referring to financial issues. The Red Devils are expected to spend around £50 million ($83 billion) to sign Mkhitaryan.
