Hojlund was left out of the squad on Sunday as United suffered defeat by Arsenal in their opening game of the season. The 22-year-old is believed to have been told that his game-time this season will be limited by Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim following the signing of RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. The Dane's omission came after he didn't feature for a single minute in United's final pre-season friendly at home to Fiorentina. Milan's sporting director Igli Tare has confirmed they hold interest in Hojlund, telling Mediaset: 'Hojlund is a good option for us. 'We are thinking about him, but in the transfer market, you never know what could happen.

Fulham are also weighing up a move for the Denmark international as Rodrigo Muniz is the subject of bids from Atalanta. However, Hojlund has been digging in his heels saying he wants to stay and fight for his place - but it remains to be seen whether his stance will change after being left out of the squad against Arsenal. Amorim has issued a warning to Hojlund, insisting the striker will stay on the sidelines if he doesn’t ‘do what’s required’. 'At United, if you don't do what's required, a team-mate will take your place, ' Amorim said. 'I've made a lot of mistakes, but I've shown that if you deserve it, you play. 'He has to fight for his place. We will see what's going to happen in the market. Rasmus has the same characteristics as Ben, so sometimes we need to chose. ' Hojlund has scored 26 goals in 95 appearances for United since signing from Atalanta in the summer of 2023.
