Real Madrid Monitoring Rasmus Hojlund’s Form at Manchester United as Mbappe and Haaland Alternatives

Real Madrid are closely observing the performance of Rasmus Hojlund amid speculation surrounding the futures of Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe and Manchester City‘s Erling Haaland.

Rasmus Hojlund – The Alternative Solution for Real Madrid

While Mbappe’s potential arrival on a free transfer is widely anticipated by Los Blancos, PSG remains hopeful of retaining the star forward.

Similarly, Haaland’s destination is shrouded in uncertainty, with Real Madrid expressing long-standing interest in the Norwegian striker, who harbours aspirations of playing in Spain.

Should negotiations for Mbappe or Haaland falter, Real Madrid could pivot their attention towards Hojlund, reports Defensa Central.

The Danish international, 21, has made significant strides since joining Manchester United, notching 11 goals and two assists in 29 appearances this season.

Despite a slow start, Hojlund has showcased his prowess with five goals and two assists in his last five Premier League outings, including a memorable strike against Newport County.

His impressive performances extend to the Champions League, where he netted five goals in six group-stage appearances, demonstrating his impact on the European stage.

Hojlund’s arrival at Manchester United last summer marked a significant upgrade from his tenure at Atalanta BC, where he amassed 10 goals and four assists in 34 matches.

While Manchester United values Hojlund as a key asset for their future plans, they anticipate bolstering their attacking options in the upcoming transfer window, particularly with Anthony Martial’s impending departure.

Real Madrid’s potential signings of Mbappe or Haaland could prompt a tactical shift back to a 4-3-3 formation under head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has favoured a 4-3-1-2 setup this season.

Amid speculation surrounding Vinicius Junior’s future, it appears improbable that the Brazilian winger will depart the Bernabeu this summer.

As the transfer window approaches, Real Madrid’s pursuit of reinforcements intensifies, with Hojlund emerging as a viable option should primary targets prove unattainable.
