Christian Eriksen makes Manchester United transfer prediction over Rasmus Hojlund

Christian Eriksen has predicted that Manchester United could sign Rasmus Hojlund this summer.

The young striker is of interest to Erik ten Hag this summer after United accepted they will be unable to lure Harry Kane from Tottenham.

Atalanta reportedly want around £65million for the 20-year-old, who scored 10 goals in his debut season in Serie A.

Eriksen is a big fan of Hojlund, who he now plays alongside for Denmark and has seen score five goals in his first five international games, but insists he is not getting involved in any talks.

"I can see him at Manchester United, but I haven’t recommended him to Erik ten Hag," Eriksen told Ekstra Bladet.

"He is a fantastic guy and a good player and has really developed brilliantly at Atalanta.

"What the club ends up doing, I will not be able to answer."

Eriksen, though, did have a warning for Hojlund over what to expect should he move to Old Trafford.

“It’s a club where there’s a huge amount of attention because everyone has an attitude towards Manchester United,” he said.

“I had tried a lot when I came to the club. So I knew a little bit about what size the club was.”
