Personal terms have been agreed with the Denmark international set to sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford with the option of a further year.

with Paris Saint-Germain also lodging a €50m bid.

The Serie A side were thought to be demanding €90m (£77m) for their prized asset.

The 20-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising young forwards in Europe.

In a further indication the move was imminent, Atalanta have confirmed the signing of striker El Bilal Toure from Spanish side Almeria in a €30m deal, a club record signing.

Atalanta signed Hojlund in a €17m (£14.3m) deal from Sturm Graz last August and the 20-year-old delivered an impressive first season in Italy with 10 goals in 34 appearances.

Hojlund was handed his first senior cap for Denmark last September and has scored six goals in six games for the national side.

United have been in urgent need of more firepower this summer having relied heavily on Marcus Rashford last season with the England international hitting 30 goals in all competitions.

Hojlund’s arrival will take United’s summer spending to over £160m following the signings of Mason Mount and Andre Onana from Chelsea and Inter Milan respectively.

United are also interested in signing Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina but it is believed the club will have to sell before they can buy again with Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay and Fred all attracting interest from other Premier League sides and abroad.
