Amorim provides Hojlund update

Ruben Amorim has urged United fans to look beyond Rasmus Hojlund’s goalscoring figures.

United are in talks to sign Benjamin Sesko, which would likely knock the Dane down the striker pecking order at Old Trafford.

Of Hojlund, Ruben Amorim said: "The important thing is that people focus on the goals and we suffer a lot because of the lack of goals. But I think not just the goals, but the way he (Hojlund) connects the play.

"Every time we have to kick the ball, we are kicking the ball when we are more pressed. The ability for him to hold the defender and to connect in the support is helping us a lot to play better. And we are playing better because he is playing better.

"I am really happy with Rasmus. I don't know what is going to happen until the end of the market. The important thing is that the strikers that are here are working really well, are improving, are helping the team and that is the most important thing.”

ICYMI: Alexander Isak latest

Alexander Isak has agreed personal terms with Liverpool as the Reds prepare a huge bid for his services.

He has reportedly agreed a six-year deal, and reportedly feels that he deserves wages in the region of £250,000 to £300,000-per-week.

Of course, it will not be easy to strike a deal with Newcastle, who are keen to hold onto their star forward. A deal could end up being worth around £150m.

Isak skipped Newcastle’s pre-season tour under the pretence that he is suffering with a thigh injury, but last night travelled to Spain to work with a personal trainer ahead of the new season.
