Manchester United believe they will beat PSG to the signing of Rasmus Hojlund as reports claim that Lique 1 giants have submitted a €50million bid for Atalanta striker.

Hojlund is the priority target for United, who have made a verbal offer of €50m for the 20-year-old.

PSG are making plans amid uncertainty over the future of Kylian Mbappe and are also interested in Tottenham striker Harry Kane.

They are waiting for Atalanta to respond to their offer for Hojlund.

Despite PSG’s plot, the Daily Mail now report that Manchester United are hopeful of signing the Atalanta forward before the start of the new Premier League season.

United are working on a deal with Atalanta for Hojlund after submitting an opening bid of £42million plus £8.5m in add-ons.

But United are said to be optimistic they will agree terms with Atalanta in time for Hojlund to move to Old Trafford before the opening game at home to Wolves on August 14.
