Signing the young Dane Rasmus Hojlund would be the perfect response to this, with the striker having an excellent scoring record in Serie A thus far.<\/p>\n<p>Pedulla&#8217;s report indicates that the forward has signed personal terms with the Old Trafford outfit, but an agreement with Atalanta is still yet to come. Due to the forward&#8217;s integral role in the squad, the Italian side isn&#8217;t likely to let Hojlund go for a low fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch: Manchester United&#8217;s Perfect Signing to Complete Erik ten Hag&#8217;s Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The PERFECT Transfer to Help Erik ten Hag Bring Manchester United Glory\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BP4PBcpIxbs?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>Sofyan Amrabat Agrees Personal Terms<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to securing an agreement with Rasmus Hojlund, Sofyan Amrabat has come to an agreement with the Old Trafford hierarchy over a move. The Red Devils were encouraged to move quickly by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/sport\/football\/soyfan-amrabat-man-utd-saudi-arabia-transfer-b1096737.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moroccan&#8217;s agent<\/a>, who informed the club of Saudi interest in his player&#8217;s services. By acting quickly and giving the midfielder what he needs, a potential move to the Middle East has seemingly been fended off.<\/p>\n<p>Amrabat&#8217;s breakout performance came in the World Cup in Qatar. As part of an incredibly effective midfield, he held an incredibly strong defensive line and was a fundamental part of launching counter-attacks that saw his country reach the semi-finals, only to lose out to France. He&#8217;ll look to add to his list of admirers by bringing his incredible creativity to the Old Trafford faithful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/07\/24\/manchester-united-harry-kane-revive\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United Willing to Spend on &#8216;Monster&#8217; Player<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>What Does This Mean for Other Manchester United Transfers?<\/h3>\n<p>After completing these deals, it&#8217;s easy to think that Erik ten Hag&#8217;s squad might be completed for the season ahead. The signing of Andre Onana provided a new number one, and a world-class one at that. Combine that with a new striker to put away chances, Mason Mount to act as a creative presence and Amrabat as a hard-working number eight, there is very little left to do to complete the squad. Loyal United fans can be happy with the side for the first time in a while.<\/p>\n<p>One particular transfer that may be completely ruled out if both of these deals are completed is the potential move for Harry Kane. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2023\/jul\/23\/manchester-united-could-revive-interest-in-harry-kane-after-spurs-decision\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham Hotspurs&#8217; decision<\/a> to sell Kane if he doesn&#8217;t renew his contract may have initially renewed interest, but with such a large outlay between these two signings, it may be impossible to find room within FFP regulations to secure the English striker&#8217;s signature too. In spite of Carrington having a wealth of talent, England&#8217;s top scorer might be something of a missed opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Featured Image:<\/strong> Jul 22, 2023; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho (25) celebrates his goal with teammates during the first half against Arsenal at MetLife Stadium.
