Manchester United have named their asking price for Rasmus Hojlund as a stunning swap deal opportunity has opened up ahead of the transfer window reopening this summer.
Hojlund has been the subject of intense transfer speculation following his indifferent form for Man United this season.
He has only scored eight goals across all competitions, including just three goals in the Premier League.

Hojlund, who cost the Red Devils a staggering £72 million in the summer of 2023, has come under fire for his performances in front of goal, with fans and critics alike slamming the forward.
As a result, he's been linked with a move away from Old Trafford as Ruben Amorim plans to make wholesale changes to his squad, with a whopping 10 players thought to be on the chopping block.
Hojlund is among the names believed to be on Man United's transfer list, with Napoli expressing an interest in bringing the 22-year-old back to Italy following his spell with Atalanta.
He broke through with Atalanta before moving to Man United, scoring 10 goals in 34 games in the 2022/23 season.

Despite his current form, Napoli still believe in the player's talent, with La Gazzetta dello Sport claiming Man United will ask for around £50 million to sanction his transfer.
The Naples-based club reckon convincing Hojlund will not be difficult as 'initial contacts' have been positive.
Given Napoli's pursuit of the Dane, Victor Osimhen could potentially go the over way as part of a blockbuster swap deal.
Osimhen is on loan at Galatasaray, but his future lies away from Napoli.

The Nigerian frontman is attracting plenty of interest, with Chelsea also thought to be keen on snapping him up.
As for Hojlund, he has linked up with Denmark, where he spoke to local media about his Man United future.
"I’m still very happy to be at Man United. It’s the club I’ve always dreamed of playing for. And I’m really happy for Ruben [Amorim]. He’s a cool character and a cool person," he told Tipsbladet.

"I’m focused on the task with Ruben [Amorim] because that project is incredibly exciting, but Erik [ten Hag] was, of course, one of the reasons why I moved to Man United.
"He was doing something good and was a talented coach, but it didn’t work out, and that’s how it is."
