In the summer transfer window, Manchester United wants to strengthen both its offensive and defensive units.
According to rumors in the Italian media, Manchester United has made approaches to acquire Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana.
La Repubblica reports that the Red Devils have made the Cameroonian shot stopper their first offer.
According to the news source, United made a bid for 47 million euros (£40.4 million) before Inter Milan opted to reject it.
Onana, who excelled in his initial season at the San Siro, is being sold by the Nerazzurri for a cost of 60 million euros (£51.5 million).
However, according to Corriere della Sera, after their initial offer was turned down, the Old Trafford club made a second attempt to sign Hojlund away from Atalanta.
The Bergamo club also demands 60 million euros for their prized asset in addition to the current offer of 46 million euros (£39.5 million), which is higher than the initial offer of 35 million euros.
Erik ten Hag must find strong replacements as soon as possible, but Man United haven’t been good negotiators throughout this transfer window.
The 20-time English champions are able to command the highest price from clubs.
They saw three bids rejected before eventually reaching an agreement with Chelsea to lure Mason Mount and we see a similar trend in their efforts to sign Hojlund and Onana.
In just over a week, United will face their first pre-season game and they must get key targets as soon as possible.
