According to information from 90min, Manchester United is planning to introduce their new signing, Rasmus Hojlund, to the fans present at Old Trafford during Saturday's friendly match against Lens. The club has successfully secured a deal for the 20-year-old striker, with the agreement potentially amounting to Ł72 million. Hojlund has already completed his medical examination in Manchester and reportedly signed a five-year contract with an option for a sixth year.
Earlier attempts to announce Hojlund's signing this week were hindered by a delay in his trip to Manchester, leading to a rescheduling of the unveiling. Nevertheless, sources have confirmed that Manchester United aims to publicize the signing around the time of the upcoming pre-season friendly against Lens, which is set to kick off at 12:45. It will be the first time United has played at Old Trafford this summer, and fans will have the opportunity to witness not only Hojlund but also other new signings, Mason Mount and Andre Onana, who recently joined from Chelsea and Inter, respectively.
Manchester United's pre-season results have been a mixed bag under Erik ten Hag's management. After registering victories against Leeds, Lyon, and Arsenal, the team suffered three consecutive losses against Wrexham, Real Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund. Ten Hag was critical of the performance against Dortmund, labeling it as "unforgivable." Therefore, he will expect more from his side in front of the home fans during the match against Lens. After the Lens game, Manchester United is scheduled to play one final friendly against Athletic Club in Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Sunday. This pre-season period serves as a crucial preparation phase for the team ahead of the upcoming season, allowing the new signings to integrate into the squad and providing opportunities for players to fine-tune their skills and tactics.
As Manchester United looks forward to the new season, the presentation of Rasmus Hojlund during the Lens match will undoubtedly generate excitement among the fans. The club's aspirations for success rest on the collective efforts of the entire team, including the new signings, as they strive to achieve their goals in both domestic and international competitions.
