Man Utd’s Hojlund close to Napoli loan

Rasmus Hojlund, a Manchester United player, is close to signing with Serie A side Napoli on loan.

Hojlund, 22, will travel to Italy today for a medical appointment on Sunday with the Italian champions.

A deal reached between United and Napoli would allow the Denmark international to transfer for a permanent sum of £38 million if certain conditions were met.

Antonio Conte’s side’s qualification for the Champions League is regarded as one of those conditions.

Hojlund made a strong effort to stay at United until last month, but he has since been ruled out of all four of his team’s final four games.
