Man United are leaving Rasmus Hojlund waiting for his turn to receive a new shirt number at the club as they are still hoping to sign more players this week.
The Red Devils introduced the new £72m striker to Old Trafford fans ahead of Saturday’s friendly against Lens. The Danish star signed a 5-year contract and is MU’s 3rd rookie in the summer of 2023.
But it seems that coach Erik ten Hag is still chasing another midfielder for the rest of the transfer window. Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat was the most frequently contacted target.
Man United is said to have reached a personal agreement with the Moroccan player but has yet to agree on a price with the owner club Fiorentina.
In the opposite direction, MU also wants to push away a few more players such as central defenders Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly and midfielders like Donny Van de Beek, Fred or Scott McTominay.
Perhaps because of these things, Hojlund has not yet been confirmed to wear a shirt number at Man United next season. MU and Wolves will play the opening match of the Premier League 2023/24 taking place at Old Trafford on the morning of August 15.
In fact, Hojlund is currently injured and cannot play. It is predicted that he will miss at least 2 early matches of the season and NHM will have to wait until the end of August or early September to see the Red Devils’ most expensive contract in the summer of 2023 officially launched.
Man United ended their pre-season tour with a 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao. In total, MU has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.
