Already making it public that he is a long-time big fan of Manchester United and also a Cristiano Ronaldo fan boy, Rasmus Hojlund might have dropped another hint that he will be favoring a move to Manchester United when the next summer transfer window begins.
The Times claimed that Manchester United are closer to signing the £40 million transfer target from Seria A side Atalanta, although his current employers are asking for an increased price tag. The Old Trafford outfit are favorites to land the 20-year-old as they are currently the only team chasing after his signature, and the Denmark international recently replaced his agent as he switched to the same firm that represents Manchester United's manager, Erik Ten Hag.
News of the Red Devils boss making contact with the young striker on multiple occasions via video chat has also spread through the media, which strongly indicates a possible transfer deal between all parties.
Rasmus Hojlund has, however, sent Man United's fans berserk after linking a post on the 20-time Premier League Champions official Instagram handle.
Following a 2-1 loss to domestic rivals Manchester City in the Emirates FA Cup final on Saturday afternoon, Manchester United's official Instagram handle posted a message of encouragement to the devasted players, indicating there is another opportunity next season.
“A season full of progress. A season full of lessons It's time to reflect, regroup, and go again next year. Thank you for your support, Reds.”
Eagle-eyed Manchester United fans were able to spot Rasmus Hojlund's reaction on the post.
UnitedInFocus suggested that Rasmus Hojlund liking Manchester United's post, which contains the words 'next year," has blown the speculations of a potential transfer to a different level.
Reports claimed Erik ten Hag wants at least two striker signings ahead of next season, and Rasmus Hojlund is being eyed as a possible backup option as the 20-time Premier League champions rebuild their squad.
Fabrizio Romano stated on the House of Champions YouTube channel that the 20-year-old would be interested in joining Ten Hag's team this summer: "They really like the player and the player really likes Manchester United because he's always been a Manchester United fan."
"So there is a connection I would say between United and Hojlund. But, at the moment, I think the big issue is going to be the price tag because Atalanta will not negotiate for less than €60m/€65m (£51m/£55m) for a player who has been very good this season, but honestly, he wasn't even a starter in the last two/three months."
Another development shows that the 20 year old has followed several Manchester United's stars on Instagram.
While Manchester United have been caught up in a tussle with Chelsea over the signing of Mason Mount. Gabri Viega has given the Red Devils more reasons why he should be taken to Old Trafford.
The Spaniard scored twice against Barcelona on the final day to save Celta Vigo from relegation.
Top England clubs want Gabri Viega, but Manchester United have been monitoring the 21-year-old for a long time, according to Spanish outlet AS. United InFocus believes Gabri Viega's signing will be a smarter investment compared to Mason Mount.
With 11 goals from midfield for Celta Vigo this season. Gabri Viega is set to cost around £26 million, half of what it will take to sign Mason Mount from Stamford Bridge.
Gabri Viega offers Manchester United exactly Mason Mount's qualities; he could, however, be a better option given his qualities in the middle of the pack.
