Manchester United offered two players as part of a swap deal for Rasmus Hojlund this summer.
and Victor Osimhen were touted as potential options, but both players proved too costly, with Kane subsequently joining Bayern Munich for a fee which could reach £100 million.Despite being somewhat of an unknown, United put their money where their mouth is and signed Hojlund - but the Old Trafford club originally attempted to haggle with Atalanta by using two of their own players as part of a deal.
The French club were also heavily linked to Hojlund, while Tottenham were said to be"genuine contenders" for the Dane's signature at one stage. A statement released by his parents back in July read: “The choice of SEG was a deliberate one. The transfer to Manchester United comes at the perfect time, and it is the right step in his career.”Hojlund made his official debut off the bench against Arsenal earlier this month and played a key role in setting up Alejandro Garnacho's disallowed goal.
