As reported by Alfredo Pedulla, Manchester United are expected to submit offer for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund by Thursday. Atalanta are of the understanding the bid will be in by then.

United are choosing to pursue a move for Rasmus Hojlund over Harry Kane. The club did not flinch when news broke last night of Kane possibly leaving Tottenham this summer, and remain focused on signing the Danish striker.

Personal terms are agreed between the player and the club. Hojlund is desperate for the move to happen and has already told his agents to prioritise United over any club.
