Rasmus Hojlund is out of today's friendly for Atalanta against Bournemouth.

With talks at an advanced between Atalanta and Manchester United over a deal for Hojlund, the Dane is sitting out of today's preseason game.

According to Fabrizio Romano, this is according to an agreement between the two clubs, who do not want to run the risk that the 20-year-old striker may suffer an injury.

United failed with an offer of 50m for Hojlund last week and have returned with an improved proposal rising to 60m.

The young striker agreed personal terms with United several weeks ago.
