The very latest Man Utd transfer news and rumours amid speculation on Rasmus Hojlund's future at Old Trafford.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has decided to leave Rasmus Hojlund out of the team’s first Premier League matchday squad of the 2025-26 season, handing a boost to Milan in their pursuit

Amorim revealed that Mazraoui would not be able to return against Arsenal. In all likelihood, we could see the former Ajax man return towards the end of the month. The Argentine is United’s sole long-term absentee, still recovering from the ACL tear he suffered against Crystal Palace in February.

After a summer-long striker search, the Red Devils finally signed Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig in a deal worth a total of €85 million (£73.8 million, $99.1 million). The 22-year-old joins Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in Ruben Amorim’s new-look attack, leaving Højlund’s future in a red shirt uncertain.

Reports on Monday morning claim that Rasmus Hojlund is intent on staying in Manchester and fighting for his place at Old Trafford, but Milan have recently held talks with the Dane and have left
