Ruben Amorim admits Man United could finalise deal before Arsenal clash
Ruben Amorim has refused to rule out a transfer for Rasmus Hojlund before Manchester United host Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
After scoring four goals in 32 top-flight appearances last term, Hojlund has attracted transfer interest from Fulham.
Marco Silva is looking to bolster his attack in West London, having guided his side to an 11th-place finish in the Premier League last term.
Meanwhile, Hojlund’s spot in Amorim’s pecking order has changed after Man United signed Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
Ruben Amorim unsure if Rasmus Hojlund will remain Man United player
Alongside Fulham’s advances for his services, Hojlund has also attracted interest from AC Milan.
Speaking about the Denmark striker’s future in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Red Devils’ Premier League opener against Arsenal later this weekend, Amorim said: “He is one more option. We will see and Rasmus [Hojlund] is still our player.”
However, the 22-year-old may already see his previous starting spot occupied by summer signing Sesko, should he remain at Old Trafford ahead of Sunday.
Benjamin Sesko ready to lead Man United’s attack
Sesko established himself as one of the brightest attacking talents in the Bundesliga last season and is now set to test his skills in the Premier League.

“[Benjamin] Sesko is ready to play on the physical point of view. He is ready, a big component in our league,” the Man United manager revealed.
“Then he is really smart, every detail he asks, he is always thinking. We will see if he starts.”
The Slovenia international will instantly become a popular figure at Old Trafford if he can help fire the North West side to victory over Arsenal.
