Manchester United are reportedly finalising a deal to send striker Rasmus Hojlund on loan to AC Milan.
The move comes as the Red Devils close in on the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig in a €76.5m deal plus €8.5m in add-ons.
Hojlund, who scored four Premier League goals last season, is keen to stay and fight for his place at Old Trafford.

However, United are open to allowing the 22-year-old Denmark international to leave on loan with an option to buy.
AC Milan have initiated talks, and United have approved the structure of the deal, pending final agreement on the purchase clause.
Hojlund is reportedly open to joining Milan, especially with United willing to cover his salary during the loan spell.
Milan aim to keep the loan fee under €6m, while the option to buy could be set around €35m.
Hojlund Departure Clears Path for Sesko Arrival
Hojlund joined Manchester United from Atalanta in a £72m deal just two years ago and still has three years left on his contract.
Speaking last month, Hojlund said his priority was to “stay and fight,” but transfer developments could change that.
United’s pursuit of Sesko signals a reshuffle in their attacking department under new boss Ruben Amorim.
If completed, the deal with Milan would offer Hojlund a fresh start and allow United to integrate Sesko seamlessly, reports Metro.
This summer marks another big chapter in Manchester United’s ongoing rebuild.
