Hoylund considers returning to Serie A, Milan loan negotiations are in progress

According to transfer expert Romano, Manchester United striker Rasmus Hoylund is discussing loan with AC Milan. The 22-year-old Danish international scored only 6 goals and 2 assists last season and failed to cash in on his £72 million worth. With Benjamin Sesco joining from Leipzig, Hoylund's pick in Amorin's tactical system has dropped significantly, and he sat on the bench in the warm-up match against Fiorentina on August 9. Sources revealed that Milan plans to pay a loan fee of 6 million euros, with a mandatory buyout clause of £38 million.

data website FBref shows that Hoylund's expected goal (xG) in Premier League at Manchester United is only 0.31, far lower than 0.48 in the Serie A period. Its high-pressure success rate also dropped from 32.1% during the Atlanta period to 25.7%, which may explain why the new coach prefers Sesco. It is worth noting that Hoylund's efficiency of only 14 goals in 62 Premier League games is not as good as his performance in 32 matches for Atlanta at the age of 21.

This transfer implies a new game of football capital - Manchester United needs to balance the FFP bill, while Milan is seeking low-cost reinforcement. As Milan Sports said, 'This may be a win-win deal ': Manchester United stops the loss, Milan gains instant combat power, and players return to prove their league. But the risk is that if Hoylund continues to be down, the 38 million buyout clause may become a new burden on the Ross and Blacks.
