Marquee Man United signing leaves for £34m less than he was bought for in 2023

Manchester United have confirmed Rasmus Hojlund’s permanent exit from the club.

The forward has completed a move to Napoli following his loan spell with the Italian giants last season.

Hojlund’s loan switch included a £38million obligation to buy if his side qualified for the Champions League.

Napoli went on to secure second place in Serie A to book their spot in the competition.

His departure sees United sell him for £34m less than they paid just three years after signing the Danish international.

Hojlund joined the club from Atalanta in 2023 for £72million, signing a six-year deal at Old Trafford.

However, he scored just 14 goals in 62 Premier League appearances for the Red Devils.

In a statement confirming his exit, United said: “Rasmus Hojlund has joined Napoli on a permanent transfer.

“Everyone at the club would like to wish Rasmus all the very best for the future.”
