Man Utd will pay the Serie A side an initial fee of £64m with a further £8m potentially coming in via add-ons.

Hojlund was pictured in the back of a car at Manchester Airport this afternoon.

He is set to undergo a medical at his new club later today.

The 20-year-old will reportedly pen a bumper five-year deal at Old Trafford.

Hojlund netted nine goals in 32 league games for Atalanta last season following his move from Austrian outfit Sturm Graz.

The Dane has scored in six in as many matches when representing his country.

Hojlund’s incredible form and attributes have seen him be compared to Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland.

His manager at Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini, also likened him to the Treble winner, saying: “The characteristics are very similar, especially in accelerations.

“He is a very fast player, he does the 100 meters in less than 11 seconds.

“For his height, he has a low centre of gravity and an incredible stride frequency.

“I’m convinced he will have a great career. Technically, he always shows different and better things.”

And Man Utd fans may not have to wait much longer to see him in action with friendly games against Lens and Athletic Bilbao this weekend.
