Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg of Tottenham Hotspur is still reportedly a target for Manchester United in the January transfer window.
The Italian tabloid Corriere dello Sport claims that Juventus and Atletico Madrid are also very interested in signing the Dane (29 September 2023, page 17).
Manchester United still like Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is a target for Manchester United, was a crucial member of the Tottenham team under each manager prior to Ange Postecoglou’s hiring in the summer.
Since the start of the Premier League season last month, the Dane has played fewer than 80 minutes of football and is no longer a regular for Spurs.
VThere were rumors that Manchester United was interested in signing Hojbjerg during the summer when they were having trouble closing a deal on Sofyan Amrabat.
The rumor from Italy now suggests that the Manchester United manager still loves the Tottenham midfielder despite the fact that Erik ten Hag’s team ultimately acquired Amrabat.
Furthermore, it has come to light that both Juventus and Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, who were in negotiations to sign him on deadline day before the deal fell through, are seriously considering trying to sign him in January.
According to the source, Tottenham is not willing to loan Hojbjerg out because they want to sell him and are asking for £26 million to do so.
Hojbjerg should leave Spurs
At the age of 28, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should be participating in regular games at this point in his career.
At Tottenham, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are above of him in the hierarchy, and Rodrigo Bentancur will move him further lower when he recovers from an injury.
All parties involved would benefit from a transfer in January, so if Hojbjerg finds a club, whether it’s Manchester United or another team, we firmly believe he should seize the chance.
It will be intriguing to see whether Manchester United would make a January transfer offer for Hojbjerg.
