Rasmus Hojlund ‘ready to accept Man Utd career is OVER’ after Benjamin Sesko’s arrival amid AC Milan transfer interest

RASMUS HOJLUND is ready to leave Manchester United after transfer interest from AC Milan, according to reports.

After only two seasons at Old Trafford, Hojlund has allegedly accepted it’s time to pack his bags after the arrival of Benjamin Sesko.

Rumours of the Dane’s departure came from sources close to the striker, as reported by talkSPORT.

United are in talks with AC Milan over a potential move for the 22-year-old, for an estimated £40million.

It would be a change of plan for Hojlund, who had previously rejected advances from RB Leipzig and opted to stay under the management of Ruben Amorim instead.

If a deal is reached, it would be a staggering £32m loss for United, who signed the striker in August 2023 for £72m from Atalanta.

Since joining the Red Devils, he has made 95 appearances and scored 26 goals, but has failed to find his feet at the club, causing Amorim to look elsewhere.

But while at a press conference in America, Hojlund laid out his intentions, stating that he wants to “stay and fight for my spot”.

But Hojlund’s place in the starting XI under Amorim now seems at risk, after Sesko’s move to Manchester was finally confirmed on August 9.

The deal, worth £66.3m with £7.4m in add-ons, came after a major bidding war for the 22-year-old between United and Newcastle, and strong interest from Arsenal as well.

With a track record of 39 goals and eight assists in 87 appearances for RB Leipzig, Sesko is likely to limit Hojlund’s game time.

The effects of the Slovenian’s move have seemingly already taken hold as Hojlund was an unused substitute in United’s pre-season friendly against Fiorentina.

Hojlund was the only first-team regular not to get on the pitch during the match, which saw United win on penalties.

Amorim opted to play Mason Mount as a false 9 instead.

The Old Trafford boss told MUTV: “We struggled without a reference as a striker. We have a new player, so we’ll see.”

Sesko’s signing marked United’s fifth of the transfer window so far, following the major signings of Wolves’ Matheus Cunha and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.

Following nearly £200m worth of signings, United’s attention now turns to departures, with potential deals in the works for Anthony, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho.
