Rasmus Hojlund: No shirt number

The Mirror reports that the striker is waiting for the same number he wore at his previous side Atalanta to be vacated at United before landing one.

Hojlund sported the No. 17 shirt while playing for the Italian side. However, the shirt number is currently occupied by Brazilian midfielder Fred, who has been linked with a Man United exit.

A move to Fulham has been rumoured for the former Shakhtar Donetsk ace, while Galatasaray are also weighing up a potential bid for his services.

This summer represents the only chance for United to recoup some cash for the man they forked out £53m for back in 2018.
