Today’s whispers have a new club in the bag
Having watched a certain someone lead Manchester City to a league and Cup double, Manchester United are after a Scandinavian forward of their own. Rasmus Højlund may not yet have the credentials of Erling Haaland but, with 16 goals and seven assists for Atalanta this season, the Dane is certainly catching the eye and could join his compatriot Christian Eriksen at Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old won’t come cheap, though, and is expected to fetch at least £40m. Not the best news for Anthony Martial, who could leave United after another injury kept him out of Saturday’s FA Cup final, the third successive final the Frenchman has missed for the Reds.
