danish striker Joins Serie A heavyweight Naples At the end of the summer transfer window, a return to the league where he emerged as one of Europe’s most promising talents with Atalanta in 2022/23.
His rising stock in Italy led United to spend an initial £64 million on him in the summer of 2023, but the 22-year-old struggled to make progress in two seasons at Old Trafford and was sent out on loan at the start of this period.

He wrote, “What a great decision it seems.”
Hjolund, who has 26 goals and six assists in 95 appearances for Man United, notably fell out of favor under United manager Ruben Amorim last season, scoring just four goals in the Premier League.
With both Hjolund and Joshua Zirkzee failing to break through, the Red Devils spent heavily on an attacking overhaul in the summer, bringing Brian Mbumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Cesco to the squad.
There were no longer any guarantees of minutes for the Dane, who opted to move away on deadline day to give him a better chance of playing regularly.
And his decision has paid off at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, with him making 19 appearances and registering 10 goal contributions in all competitions so far this season.
Hjolund could move to Napoli permanently at the end of the season, with United agreeing a package that includes a €6m loan fee and a €44m clause by the striker.
