Manchester United have offered players to Atalanta as they look to sign Rasmus Hojlund but have been told they must pay the striker’s huge £85.5million valuation in cash only.

They have floated the idea of swap deals plus money at a time where Fred and Donny van de Beek are among the United players up for sale.

During that time, Liverpool put together their best form of the campaign, while Jurgen Klopp has already moved to add Alexis Mac Allister to his central midfield contingent.
