Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund is on the verge of sealing a sensational summer move to Manchester United after he was spotted at Carrington Training Centre ahead of his imminent move.

According to The Mirror, Hojlund touched down in Ringway on Tuesday ahead of his proposed Old Trafford move.

The 20-year-old is set to undergo his medical at United’s training ground before signing off on his contract.

Personal terms are understood to have already been agreed between the Denmark international and United, with Metro UK reporting he is set to sign a five-year deal at the Theatre of Dreams with the option of a further year.

Man United's spending spree

Hojlund's transfer to United is reportedly set to cost the Premier League giants as much as £64m plus £10m in add-ons.

The star forward will become Ten Hag's third signing this summer, following the arrivals of Mason Mount and Andre Onana.

Mount swapped Chelsea for the Red Devils, with Onana moving to the Manchester club to succeed David de Gea, who left after 12 years with the Red Devils.

Why Mount joined United

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Mount revealing why he dumped Chelsea to seal a sensational summer move to Manchester United.

The England midfielder officially joined the Red Devils on July 5, ending days weeks of speculation surrounding his future at the Blues.

Mount's move to Old Trafford came just hours after he posted an emotional video on Instagram announcing he will be quitting Chelsea this summer.
