The striker will become Erik ten Hag’s third signing of the summer after Atlanta and United agreed a deal worth €75m (£64m) plus £10m (£8m) in add-ons.

National Daily learnt that the Red Devils have already agreed personal terms with Hojlund. The forward is to sign a five-year deal at United with the option of a further year.

A move to Old Trafford has been Hojlund’s preference with Ten Hag making him a top target after the Red Devils were priced out of a transfer for Harry Kane.

The striker was absent as Atalanta clashed against Bournemouth in pre-season on Saturday.  This could be as result of his imminent summer switch ahead.

United have been in urgent need of more firepower this summer having relied heavily on Marcus Rashford last season, National Daily gathered.
