Hojlund looks set to leave Man United following the £74million signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.

Hojlund has largely failed to impress for Man United since joining in a £72million deal from Serie A side Atalanta in 2023.

Football Insider revealed on 12 August Hojlund is only likely to leave on loan this summer despite the club’s hopes of securing a permanent deal.

This article contains exclusive comment from Stefan Borson, a former financial adviser to Man City.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson said: “The problem with all these sorts of loans and this is a problem United have had themselves is if they don’t work and the player comes back having performed very poorly, then you’re in real trouble because then it’s two clubs he’s not performed well at. 

“Who’s looking at him then for €40million (£35.5million)?

“There are just very few people who have got that kind of cash to be able to pay those sorts of wages.”
