Man Utd transfer news: Ruben Amorim makes Rasmus Hojlund admission as replacement targeted

Manchester United have strengthened their squad with two major signings so far this summer, bringing in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo as they look to bounce back from their worst ever Premier League finish.

United finished 15th last season and were particularly toothless in front of goal, with only Everton and the three sides that got relegated managing less league goals than their 44 strikes. Cunha and Mbeumo, meanwhile, netted 35 goals between them.

They have also signed teenage full-back Diego Leon, while Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan and Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have been released. And plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected before the transfer window slams shut.

Here, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer news and rumours from in and around Old Trafford...

Amorim's Hojlund admission

Ruben Amorim has admitted he cannot guarantee Rasmus Hojlund will stay at Old Trafford, with Manchester United looking to sign a new striker.

Hojlund managed just four Premier League goals last season and has been linked with a move away, with Amorim keen to add more firepower. And when asked about Hojlund's future, Amorim said: "I'm really happy with Rasmus, but I don't know what is going to happen until the end of the market.

"The important thing is that the strikers who are here are working really well, they are improving, they are helping the team and that's the most important thing. The important thing is that Rasmus is scoring goals. He's connecting really well with the team. He's improving. Again, I don't know what is going to happen until the market is closed."

Hojlund makes transfer vow

Rasmus Hojlund has insisted he is not concerned by Manchester United's pursuit of a new striker, claiming that any extra competition will "sharpen him".

"I think the most important thing for me is just to keep working hard and stay focused and then obviously we'll see what happens," Hojlund said. "I think my plan is very clear and that's for me to stay and fight for my spot, whatever happens.

"Competition is fine with me, it sharpens me. I'm more than ready. I'm feeling sharp, so I'm welcoming everything that comes. I think it's good with competition and it only sharpens the team."

Sesko asking price

RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko has emerged as Manchester United's top attacking target, with reports from Germany suggesting he could cost upwards of £70m.

It is claimed that Sesko has a gentlemen's agreement with Leipzig that would let him leave for a fee between £60m and £70m plus add-ons, but that only applies to select clubs. Newcastle are also said to be interested in Sesko, with Alexander Isak keen to leave St James' Park.
