It&#8217;s also added that Hojlund himself is keen on a move to Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Manchester United Will Line Up Under Erik ten Hag Next Season\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gxysc8j5UJo?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Can Hojlund Bring to Old Trafford?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">United appear to be closing in on their first transfer of the summer window, as they&#8217;ve\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/06\/29\/mason-mount-manchester-united-hwg\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">reportedly struck an agreement<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0with Chelsea to sign Mason Mount.
