Manchester United are looking to bring the Brazilian teen superstar to Old Trafford, in the context of Erik ten Hag strengthening the squad.
The Red Devils are looking to improve the mainstay of the team, with a new goalkeeper, a new centre-back, a new midfielder and another striker on the wish list. According to Fabrizio Romano, Andre Onana is closely linked between the clubs, while Mason Mount is set to join for around £55m.
While Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane were contacted earlier in the transfer window, it is now understood that Manchester United may have to look for a cheaper striker. Corriere dello Sport in Italy have made contact with Rasmus Hojlund - but he may not be the only one joining United as another striker option. Rasmus Hojlund and Jesper Lindstrom of Denmark run into the field during the UEFA Nations League match between Denmark and France at Parken on September 25, 2022 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Rasmus Hojlund (L) is on Manchester United's radar
Mundo Deportivo have claimed the Red Devils are keeping an eye on 18-year-old star Vitor Roque, who has been closely linked with Barcelona and Arsenal in recent months. It seems very likely that the teenage player will move away this summer in one way or another - and although United are new on the hunt for his signature, they will likely offer a competitive financial package. compete to secure the transfer.
Roque was ranked 39th on FourFourTwo's Most Exciting Youth in Football list earlier this year and represents an entirely different pick than Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund. Small but explosive, the Brazilian player is light, agile and has the ability to conquer opponents. There is a chance the little star could also play on the left wing, with Rashford up front. Ten Hag has a lot of experience working with young players, making this a potential move if he starts.
However, the big problem is that Roque is still very young and will need a period of acclimatization at Old Trafford. For United, putting their faith in 20-year-old Hojlund and 18-year-old Roque would be a big gamble.

According to reports, the Brazilian has a release clause of around £50m, but could be less if United make a satisfactory offer.
Roque is valued at 18 million euros, according to Transfermarkt.
