Hojlund available for £30m
Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund is available for £30 million this summer, reveals The Times.
However, the outlet claims Hojlund is desperate to remain at the Premier League club and prove his worth following a disappointing campaign.
The Red Devils are said to be in the market for a new forward, with Benjamin Sesko and Ollie Watkins linked.
"Manchester United are prepared to sell Rasmus Hojlund for £30m this summer, with the striker determined to fight for his place," reads the article.
"United have opened the door to him leaving, with the potential of a new No. 9 arriving before the window closes. Sources said Hojlund is determined to fight for his place but if the right offer came in United would look to sell the Danish striker despite signing him for £72m only two years ago.
"Club sources insist they are not in a position where they have to sell in order to bring in another player, which means Hojlund could remain at the club if Sesko, or another forward arrives, but he would find his place in the team under threat and in an ideal world the club need to generate some funds before the transfer window closes."

Ramos on Newcastle radar
Newcastle United have identified Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos as an alternative to Benjamin Sesko, claims the Mail.
Eddie Howe’s side have been linked with RB Leipzig striker Sesko amid ongoing speculation surrounding the future of Alexander Isak – but face competition from Manchester United.
Should they fail to land Sesko, they may turn their attention to Ramos, according to Craig Hope.
He writes in his column: "One new name on Newcastle's radar to come across my desk in the past 24 hours is that of PSG striker Goncalo Ramos. I understand he is on the list of alternatives to Sesko, should that deal not progress.
"Newcastle looked at the Portugal forward three years ago before they signed Alexander Isak. He eventually joined PSG from Benfica a year later, where he has scored 33 goals from 86 matches, but the European champions are said to be open to him leaving this summer.
"It is a name to keep an eye on, especially if Newcastle are frustrated in their pursuit of Sesko and other targets such as Ollie Watkins."

Alli not wanted at Como
The Telegraph reports that Dele Alli is searching for a new club after being frozen out at Como.
The former England international joined Cesc Fabregas' side on an 18th-month deal in January but has now been told he is not wanted at the club.
"Dele Alli is looking for a new club having been told he does not feature in the plans of Como head coach Cesc Fabregas," states the outlet.
"Contrary to reports in Italy, the 29-year-old is not considering retiring from the game despite his move to the Serie A club not working out.
"Instead Alli wants to carry on playing and is considering his options – including a return to England – as he remains determined to revive his career.
"Alli is now training away from the Como first-team squad as they prepare for the new season at a pre-season camp in Marbella."
