Manchester United have delayed official confirmation of Rasmus Hojlund's move.
The 20-year-old is set to become Erik ten Hag's third summer signing after an eye-watering £72million deal was agreed with Atalanta over the weekend. United agreed a fee of £64m, plus £8m in add-ons, for a player who scored nine league goals last season.
Atalanta held out for their desired transfer fee and on Saturday night United succumbed to their demands, prompting Hojlund to say his goodbyes to his team-mates. The youngster's arrival was delayed on Tuesday, with Manchester Evening News reporting he landed at Manchester Airport at 4.15pm.
A planned meet-and-greet with United supporters was subsequently cancelled in favour of starting medical tests, which would carry into Wednesday.
There are no concerns over the deal falling through and Hojlund has been pictured at the club's Carrington training ground, with an official announcement now reportedly pencilled in around Saturday's friendly against Lens at Old Trafford which kicks off at 12.45pm.
Once Hojlund is confirmed, United’s summer spending will sit at around £190million, with three players coming in who all improve the Ten Hag’s starting XI.
