Erik ten Hag wants to sign another forward at Manchester United despite Rasmus Hojlund agreement: Reports

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen on adding another forward to his side's ranks alongside Rasmus Hojlund.

The Red Devils' announcement of Hojlund as a new Manchester United player could be postponed by three days. That's according to Manchester Evening News who claim that the Danish striker
