The amount of money Manchester United would accept for Højlund

Manchester United are preparing to offload striker Rasmus Højlund this summer, with Juventus emerging as the frontrunners for the Danish international.

The 20-year-old arrived at Old Trafford with high expectations, billed as the 'next Erling Haaland'. However, Højlund has failed to live up to the hype, struggling to find consistency in front of goal. With the club looking to bolster other areas of the squad, United are willing to listen to offers for the young forward.

Sources suggest that the Red Devils would be willing to accept bids in the region of £40 million for Højlund, a significant drop from the fee they paid to sign him from Atalanta.

Why is Manchester United looking to sell Højlund?

• Lack of form: Højlund has struggled to find the net consistently since his move to Old Trafford.
• Financial constraints: The club is looking to balance the books and generate funds for other transfer targets.
• Managerial preference:  Rúben Amorim  is believed to be keen on bringing in a more experienced striker.

Juventus interest

Juventus have been closely monitoring Højlund's situation and believe he has the potential to develop into a top-class striker. The Italian giants are in the market for a new forward and see Højlund as a long-term project.

What next for Højlund?

With Juventus showing strong interest, a move to Serie A could be on the cards for Højlund. A change of scenery could be beneficial for the young striker, who may need a fresh start to reignite his career.
