Manchester United have been warned over their pursuit of Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund.

The Dane is the subject of major interest from United this summer.

However, two unnamed scouts have questioned whether Hojlund can handle the Premier League.

"We looked at Hojlund some time ago when he was coming through the Danish international age groups and while he was at Copenhagen and Sturm Graz," one told the Mirror.

He was worth a punt but the money being asked now would represent a much greater risk" he says.

He's still unproven and the Premier League is a very unforgiving place especially if you're in a Manchester United shirt.

He's left footed, strong and powerful so inevitably there will be some comparisons with Haaland but he's not in his league.

Haaland is a generational talent.

Hojlund's stats don't come anywhere near Haaland and his finishing can be erratic."

And another said: He's no Haaland.

It's strange too that he's mentioned alongside Harry Kane as a possible United target - they are worlds apart.

Hojlund can improve because he's still young but any time you buy potential there's always a danger, it's a gamble."
