Manchester United have a not-so-secret weapon this summer as they attempt to lure one of Europe's hottest prospects to Old Trafford.

Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund has earned comparisons to Erling Haaland and it is easy to see why. His pace and strength is similar to the Norwegian talisman and he also holds a special place in his heart for a Manchester club.

Yes, as has been well reported, the 20-year-old is a fan of United so it is unlikely he would need much convincing to move to Old Trafford.

However, to ensure Hojlund is not tempted by other big clubs, the Reds have begun employing a tactic which worked on the forward's countryman, Christian Eriksen.
