Man Utd in 'final stages' of deal to offload outcast image

Manchester United haven't gotten off to the start they would have wanted for their Premier League campaign. 

With a loss to Arsenal and a draw with Fulham, Ruben Amorim is hoping for better results.

The transfer window is set to close soon, and Amorim is still hoping to offload multiple players. 

Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Tyrell Malacia are all looking for moves away, with Rasmus Hojlund also expected to depart. 

One player's future is set to be decided within the coming days, as a deal for a move away is in the final stages. 

Which United player is close to departing the club?

According to Fabrizio Romano, Rasmus Hojlund's loan move to Napoli is close to being finalized.

United are including a buy option clause in the deal. 

Napoli are still in discussions for personal terms with Hojlund, but Amorim has made it clear that the Dane is not in his plans for the season. 

Hojlund scored just four goals in the Premier League last season for United, and Amorim has since brought in striker Benjamin Sesko. 

Joshua Zirkzee is also preferred over Hojlund, who was left out of United's squad for the first two league games. 

Napoli are looking for a new striker after Romelu Lukaku suffered an injury that will keep him sidelined for several months.
