It was revealed that Manchester United had approached Jekereish! Hojlund insisted he would stay and could become Amorim's fifth option

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that United held talks with Dzekereish's agent and Sporting last week to find out what is going on with him. The 27-year-old Swedish centre-forward is uncertain about his future and the Red Devils, despite not having a Champions League, could still be one of them. Ruben Amorim is watching every step of the way and knows the goalscorer, who has scored 54 goals in 52 games, could make a £60million move this summer.

United need not kid themselves and the Swedish striker will undoubtedly choose the Emirates Stadium if Arsenal bring in Djekereish, even though he has a good relationship with Amorim. But as things stand, Arsenal may not necessarily choose Djekereish. They are currently more inclined to bring in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Seshko, but the deal is ahead of Jekereish and has not made a breakthrough, so anything is possible.

In addition to Manchester United, there are many more clubs who have called Dzhekerish's agent, including those from Serie A, Saudi Arabia's professional league, such as Riyadh Crescent, who approached him after being rejected by Bruno Fernandes and Osimhen.

Until Dzhekerish finalises his move to another club, United will remain in contact with his camp. However, United are unlikely to make an offer right away, and financially, it is absolutely vital to be able to afford the transfers of Djekereish, Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony, and it is clear that it will not be easy, with these players yet to receive any formal offers.

Manchester United's current No.9 Hojlund could also be the target of a purge, however, the Danish international, who has a 'devil's dream', insisted after the international break that he wants to continue playing at Old Trafford with his contract until 2030.

The 22-year-old is said to have attracted Inter Milan's interest, however he said after Denmark's 2-1 friendly win over Northern Ireland: "I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030, so I want to continue playing for Manchester United. I'm looking forward to spending the summer and then dedicating myself to the summer training camp. I don't know where the reports I read come from, but I know the facts, I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I want to play at Manchester United, so I'm preparing for the summer and then hopefully playing a good pre-season."

If Hojlund is forced to stay at Manchester United, he will want the club not to sign any new centre-forwards, otherwise he could be reduced to Amorim's fifth choice in this position! Once a goalscorer of the level of Dzhekerish or Osimhen joins, he will definitely be the first choice in the No. 9 position of the 343 formation. As a substitute, Amorim recognises 23-year-old Dutch international Zirkze, who has poor scoring ability, but his drop-back style of play can make him a complement to £62.5 million Mr. Cunha and potential new signing Mbeumo.

In addition, Cunha and Mbeumo can also play in the central striker position, which means Hojlund could be fifth in the rankings: new centre-forward, Zirkze, Cunha, Mbeumo, and the only one he has a chance to suppress is probably 17-year-old Chedo Obi.

There are optimistic Manchester United fans who are looking forward to the arrival of a new striker who will bring Hojlund with him and let him understand the true meaning of a striker. This is naturally an idealistic view, and in the first half of the season, Ten Hag's coaching staff had top goalscorer Ruud van Nistelrooy as coach, and one of his responsibilities was to coach the forwards, but the 'Freighter' showed no signs of improvement. He scored just two goals in the Premier League during that time, but he was effective in the Europa League, scoring five goals, suggesting that he might be more suited to the continental style of play.

Manchester United have no European assignments next season, the team does not need to rotate much, and if Hojlund insists on staying, he will not be given too much playing time, which is not conducive to his long-term development.
