Manchester United is going through significant changes. While the fans celebrate the arrival of Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko for 85 million euros from Leipzig and the recent penalty shootout victory against Fiorentina, there is a player in the dressing room not experiencing his best moment: Rasmus Hojlund.

The Danish forward did not play a single minute in the friendly match, confirming that his role in Ruben Amorim's team has diminished. Everything indicates that his immediate future will be far from Old Trafford, with AC Milan as the main destination.

In the match against the Italian side, Amorim opted for a frontline consisting of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, supported by Mason Mount in the playmaker role, and Amad Diallo providing width on the right flank. Despite United's offensive quality, it was Fiorentina who struck first: a poorly defended corner resulted in Simon Sohm scoring from close range at the back post, unmarked.

The equalizer came early from a corner delivered by Bruno Fernandes, resulting in an own goal by Robin Gosens, leveling the score before the half-hour mark. From that point on, the match became more tactical, with changes on both sides but neither able to break the deadlock.

The decider came from the penalty spot, where United showed perfect efficiency. Fernandes, Cunha, Diogo Dalot, Diallo, and Kobbie Mainoo converted their penalties, while Fabiano Parisi missed for Fiorentina, handing the victory to the English side. However, the true headline of the night was not the win but the absence of Hojlund on the pitch.

Sources close to the club, like journalist Fabrizio Romano, claim that Manchester United is already working on loaning the forward to AC Milan for a fee close to six million euros. This move would allow the young attacker to get the minutes he seems to lack under Amorim's guidance and, at the same time, free up space in the squad for new signings.

🚨 AC Milan have started discussing via intermediaries numbers of Rasmus Højlund deal.

Understand these are details: €6m loan fee, €45m buy option clause, salary covered.

Sesko's signing seems to have been the final blow for Hojlund, who arrived at United as a highly-touted prospect but never quite solidified his place as a regular starter. Competition in the forward line, coupled with a change in management, has minimized his opportunities. In San Siro, the Dane would find a team looking to strengthen its attack and providing a competitive environment, albeit with more room to develop.

The Manchester United fanbase is torn between the excitement of Sesko's arrival and the sadness of seeing a player with high hopes depart. If all goes according to plan, the deal with AC Milan could be finalized before the end of the transfer window, closing a brief but intense chapter in Hojlund's history at Old Trafford.
