Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund completed his £72 million move from Serie A side Atalanta to Manchester United on Saturday. The forward has signed a five-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.

The 20-year-old, who scored 10 times in 34 games for Atalanta last season, was unveiled to fans at Old Trafford before United's pre-season friendly against French side Lens.

He has scored six goals in six appearances for Denmark. Hojlund told the club's website: “It is no secret that I have been a fan of this great club since I was a small boy and I dreamt 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 am determined to repay the faith that the club has shown in me. “It is still early in my career, but I know that I am 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 am relishing the opportunity to work with one of the best coaches in the world." His arrival ends manager Erik ten Hag's search for a striker as he looks to reinforce United's front line, with injury-prone Anthony Martial the only recognised centre-forward at the club.
