Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund could potentially end his woes with a transfer to Leeds United next summer.

The Denmark international signed for the Red Devils in 2023 for a significant fee, but the former Atalanta centre-forward has failed to live up to expectations at Old Trafford.

Hojlund has been linked with a move to Elland Road, and with the Whites' return to the Premier League, they arguably need to sign a new number nine.

Farke must demand that 49ers Enterprises invest heavily in the upcoming transfer window, and Paraag Marathe may need to pull his financial muscles soon.

Leeds United to hijack Fenerbahce transfer for Hojlund as large budget allocated

Fenerbahce are interested in signing Hojlund from Man United, according to Spor Arena.

The news outlet reports (24 May) that the Super Lig outfit have allocated the largest portion of their transfer budget to sign a new number nine, with the Danish national among the candidates.

It's been claimed that the Turkish outfit have made a move for the 22-year-old as they look to bolster their attacking ranks.

If the Whites want to seal a deal for the forward at Elland Road, they may need to hijack Fenerbahce's approach for the centre-forward.

With the West Yorkshire outfit evidently needing a new striker, it would make sense to sign Hojlund, due to his potential and experience in the English top flight.

While the Denmark international has been underwhelming in the current campaign, Farke could potentially unlock his qualities at the Whites.

Joel Piroe can't be expected to lead attack at Elland Road in Premier League

Joel Piroe shouldered the burden of goals at Leeds this season, winning the Championship Golden Boot.

While the Dutch centre-forward was impressive in the current campaign, he can't be expected to contribute similar goalscoring numbers in the Premier League.

Farke should move the 25-year-old to the number 10 position and sign a striker to partner him up front in an attempt to bolster the Peacocks' attacking threat in the top flight.

Considering the West Yorkshire outfit's rivalry with Man United, a move for the Danish centre-forward may be challenging to pull off, but the Red Devils could potentially be convinced due to his recent poor form.
