Manchester United have been monitoring Ademola Lookman’s situation at Atalanta, and a new report from England states that the club is open to a sensational swap deal.
A deal that could see Manchester United’s £72 million forward join the Serie A club in the summer. Ruben Amorim is looking to strengthen his attack this summer due to the lack of goals.
Manchester United are having its worst ever season in the club’s history. The club currently sits in the 14th position in the Premier League after 33 games. They have won 10 games and lost 15 so far in the league.
Ruben Amorim took charge in November 2024, replacing Erik ten Hag. However, the Portuguese manager came in with a different idea compared to how the team was playing in the last 8 years.
Man United to offer Hojlund for Lookman
According to the Sun, Manchester United are eyeing a partial swap deal that would see Rasmus Hojlund return to his former club and Ademola Lookman arrive at Old Trafford.
Ademola Lookman is currently in his prime, having inspired Atalanta to the Europa League last season, scoring a hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen.
The Super Eagle winger won the African Best Player award after the season he had with Atlanta. Paris Saint-Germain are one of the many clubs interested in him last summer and could return with an offer.
Ademola Lookman had public disagreements with his manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, but that is not the major reason why he’s on the market, as Fabrizio has reported that the plan was for him to leave this summer.
Manchester United are looking at players who fit into Ruben Amorim’s system, and they are exploring many options, but the number 10 and the striker position are the priority targets at the moment.
Rasmus Hojlund has struggled to live up to the expectations since joining the club from Atalanta for a fee worth 85 million euros. He is available on the market, and the likes of Napoli and Juventus are tracking him, according to Fabrizio Romano.
It remains to be seen if Manchester United will be open to a swap deal for Ademola Lookman, as confirmed by the Sun Sport.
