Manchester United confirming the signing of Rasmus Hoyland from Atalanta for £64m with a further £8m in potential add-ons. A blow though for United, he's expected to miss the start of the season. He is recovering from a small injury sustained in pre-season with Atalanta. Hoyland is training but not yet ready to play. He signed a contract running until June 2028 with the option was presented on the pitch at Old Trafford a short time ago, prior to the start of United's pre-season friendly against Lens. At the age of 20, the striker scored 27 goals in 87 club appearances, including 10 in Italy for Atalanta last season. You can watch all United's pre-season games exclusively on MU TV. Some comments from Hoyland for you. It is no secret that I've been a fan of this great club since I was a small boy and I dreamed of walking out at Old Trafford as a Manchester United player. I am incredibly excited by this opportunity to turn that dream into a reality and I'm determined to repay the faith that the club has shown in me. It is still early in my career but I know that I'm ready to make this step up and play with this group of world-class players. Once I had spoken to the manager I knew that this environment would be perfect for my development. I'm relishing the opportunity to work with one of the best coaches in the world. Under his guidance and support I know that I am capable of achieving great things together with my new teammates at this special club. And some comments from United's football director John Murtagh. Rasmus is a truly exceptional talent. He possesses technical and physical attributes which rank him among the best players in the world for his age group.
