This summer, Manchester United is looking to add two new strikers, and Rasmus Hojlund of Denmark's Atalanta are on their short list. Christian Eriksen, a teammate of his at the international level, thinks he has the skills to join him with the Red Devils.



Rasmus Hojlund, a fellow countryman of Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen, has the skills to play for the Red Devils, according to Eriksen.


Hojlund, according to 90min, is a striker who Manchester United is interested in signing during the summer transfer window, but Atalanta's asking price of at least €65 million may prove to be a roadblock.


The 20-year-old Hojlund fits into the younger option category of the two attackers Man Utd are trying to sign this summer: one experienced, ready-made forward.



Prior to Friday night's 1-0 victory for Denmark over Northern Ireland, Eriksen, who transferred to Manchester United from Brentford last summer on a free transfer, was questioned about Hojlund's probable move to Old Trafford.


Eriksen told Ekstra Bladet, "I can see him [Hojlund] at Manchester United, but I haven't recommended him to Erik ten Hag."


He is a wonderful person and a talented athlete who has excelled at Atalanta. I won't be able to say what the club decides to do.



"Everyone has an attitude toward Manchester United," Eriksen continued, "so it's a club where there's a huge amount of attention." When I arrived at the club, I made many attempts. I was therefore somewhat aware of the club's magnitude.


Because of the club's current size, it can be quite challenging for younger players that join.


Hojlund had a great first season with Atalanta after joining from Austrian club Sturm Graz only last summer, scoring 10 goals and dishing out four assists in 33 appearances.
