Shock club nobody has mentioned yet plotting outrageous Rasmus Hojlund transfer as twist in Man Utd star's future emerges

A new club has entered the race to sign Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, a new report has sensationally claimed.

Hojlund has scored just four Premier League goals in what has been a largely challenging second campaign at Old Trafford for the Denmark international.

He has fared much better in the Europa League, netting six times, including a goal in the 4-1 semi-final second leg win over Athletic Bilbao.

But there have been growing doubts over the 22-year-old's future this summer, particularly amid reports that manager Ruben Amorim wants to sign a new striker.

Hojlund has stated he wants to stay at the club, telling reporters after the aggregate win over Bilbao: "It is the hard times that make you better and you learn a lot from them.

"I have always said I know what this football club is all about and it's a lot of pressure, but that's why I'm here. I want to show myself on the biggest stage."

But according to The Telegraph, Hojlund's future is now uncertain because Amorim needs to potentially sell players in order to buy this summer.

Now, according to Turkish outlet Soczu, a former Manchester United manager wants to sign the striker this summer.

It is claimed that Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce are exploring a move for the Dane, which would see the Turkish club propose a loan-to-buy arrangement.

Fenerbahce are said to be planning to allow both Youssef En Nesyri and Cenk Tosun to leave the club, while Edin Dzeko, 39, will see his contract expire at the end of next month.

Those moves would see Mourinho left with few forward options, with Hojlund said to be the first step towards refreshing the front line.

Given United's need to sell to buy, it is unclear whether a loan-to-buy deal - without an initial upfront fee - would be enough to convince them to part with a player they signed for £72 million from Atalanta just two years ago.
