AC Milan are interested in signing Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, despite the Danish forward recently reaffirming his desire to remain at Old Trafford.

Just over a week ago, the 23-year-old told reporters after scoring in a 4-1 pre-season win over Bournemouth in Chicago that he intended to stay and fight for his place, even with increased competition in Ruben Amorim’s squad.

However, United have since agreed terms with RB Leipzig for Benjamin Sesko, with the Slovenia international expected to be unveiled to fans ahead of Saturday’s friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford.

The arrival of Sesko has sparked transfer interest in Hojlund, with several clubs reportedly exploring the possibility of a deal. Milan are understood to be keen, but would prefer an initial loan move due to financial constraints caused by their absence from European competition this season.

Sources suggest the Serie A giants are willing to pay a €4 million (£3.47m) loan fee, with an option to buy next summer for €40 million (£34.7m).

It remains uncertain whether United will accept such terms, and more clarity on the situation is expected in the coming week.

Milan will begin their Serie A campaign against Cremonese on 23 August 2025.
