How Sesko could unlock Milan move for Manchester United forward Hojlund | OneFootball

Milan may be able to take advantage of Manchester United’s pursuit of Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko, as reports from Italy claim the Slovenian’s arrival may open the door more widely for Rasmus Hojlund’s departure.

According to what has been reported by MilanNews24, lots of senior figures at the Rossoneri are impressed by the Danish forward and the 22-year-old fits the profile of player Milan are attempting to build into their project.

Hojlund has been rumoured with a move away from the Premier League already this summer, with Napoli and Inter linked as potential suitors. However, if Sesko arrives, the player may look to ask for a move away in order to secure more game time.

Hojlund career needs breath of fresh air amid Milan interest

Last season, Hojlund endured a disappointing campaign, scoring just four goals in 32 Premier League appearances for Manchester United. The Red Devils slumped to a 15th-placed finish and the whole squad struggled to find any kind of momentum.

The Danish forward was a victim of this overall disappointment and a change of pace could be what he needs to reinvigorate his career. Hojlund spent one season in Serie A with Atalanta in 2022-23 before he completed an €80 million move to the Premier League giants.
