[골닷컴] Correspondent Kang Dong-hoon = Manchester United have finally signed a forward striker. He signed a long-term contract with Rasmus Höilun (20), who is called the ‘Denmark bomber’. He is known to have invested a whopping 72 million pounds (about 120 billion won) in transfer fees during the recruitment process.
On the 5th (Korean time), Manchester United said on the official website, “We have signed a contract with Hoirun. He is a five-year contract until June 2028, with an option to extend for another year,” he said. “A truly talented striker. We expect him to show his potential as he develops further under manager Eric Ten Haag (53).”

Manchester United focused on reinforcing their frontline striker during the summer transfer market, as they suffered from an “empty void” enough to rank 7th in the English Premier League (EPL) with 58 goals last season. In particular, he released Cristiano Ronaldo (38, Al Nasr), who was excluded from Ten Hag’s plan due to controversy over his attitude last year, and Boot Verhost (30, Burnley), who was brought on loan, left as his contract expired. It was ‘active’.
Initially, it was Harry Kane (30, Tottenham Hotspur) that was considered ‘first’. However, Manchester United did not even start negotiations properly because Tottenham insisted that they would never allow transfers within the EPL. Victor Osimen (24, Naples), Randall Colo Muani (24, Eintracht Frankfurt), and Gonzalo Hamus (21, Benfica), who were considered as the next best option, gave up after setting an exorbitant transfer fee.
In the end, Manchester United turned to Hoilun, which they had been eyeing as the next option, and tried to contact them, and last month made a verbal agreement on personal conditions such as salary and contract period. And after negotiating with Atalanta, he finally made a deal by agreeing to match the requested transfer fee.
Contrary to the policy of not ‘overpaying’ in the process of recruiting Hoilun, Manchester United eventually invested £72 million including options and bonuses as Atalanta dragged on negotiations even with the opening of the new season approaching. . This is a huge sum corresponding to the 5th highest transfer fee (club record) in the history of the club.
It is said that Man Utd rated Höilun highly for his speed enough to run 100m in 11 seconds, his excellent goal-making ability in front of the goal, and his skill in linkage play and forward pressure, which coach Ten Hagh values. In particular, it is predicted that he is a talent that will surpass Elling Hollan (22), the frontline striker of the ‘rival’ Manchester City.
