Man United have stated Hojlund can leave Old Trafford for the right price, but following a poor return of goals in the Premier League, the Red Devils have struggled to offload the Dane.

According to Florian Plettenberg [21 August], AC Milan have agreed a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface on a season loan with an option to buy.

The news means Hojlund is unlikely to move to the Italian giants and the 22-year-old will have to reconsider his options.

Hojlund could leave Man United.

Fulham could still lose Muniz despite their offer of a new contract, meaning Hojlund would be competing with a 34-year-old Raul Jimenez for a spot in the starting line-up.

It represents an opportunity for Hojlund to gain regular minutes and show the Premier League his quality after two disappointing campaigns at Man United.

Fulham are a neat possession based side, whose style would suit that of Hojlund who is not a target man or a physical presence.
