Manchester United is set to secure a backup striker for Rasmus Hojlund, but the chosen player won’t be a La Liga star, as per an exclusive report.

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is likely to comprehend the club’s interest in securing a backup during the January transfer window, especially after his recent goalless performance at the London Stadium, marking his second consecutive match without a goal in three outings.

While Hojlund has shown promise in the Champions League, his Premier League performance raises concerns.

Manager Erik ten Hag, who had high expectations for the teenager, might be exploring options for a backup striker in January.

Possible names linked include Youssef En-Nesyri, though no official information on a transfer has been received.

The club’s confidence in Hojlund remains, but additional depth is being considered for strategic rotation and competition.

The recent loss to West Ham has intensified scrutiny on ten Hag, although external factors like injuries and uncertainties about ownership and board structure also contribute to the challenges facing Manchester United.
