Napoli say Rasmus Hjlund's permanent move from Manchester United a formality'
"We did everything we could to sign him, Manna told Corriere dello Sport. There were more storied clubs interested, but his will was crucial, and we are proud of it. There's an option to buy and an obligation to buy if we qualify for the Champions League. The player considers himself a Napoli player, and the same goes for us. This is extremely important."
"Hjlund joined United from Atalanta in August 2023 for 64m, plus a potential 8m in add-ons. The 22-year-old scored 14 goals in 62 Premier League appearances, and the fee for Hjlund to move to Napoli is believed to be 38m. Benjamin Sesko, Hjlund's replacement at Old Trafford, has struggled to adapt to the Premier League and scored only twice since joining from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to 73.7m."
"They weren't just booed off at full time, Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. The fans waited in the stadium to continue to boo them. They've gone backwards. Joshua Zirkzee scored just his second goal of the season to put United in front but was substituted at half-time in a move that the manager, Ruben Amorim, described as just tactical. On Amorim's substitutions, Neville added: They made Manchester United worse. Every single substitution was bizarre."
Rasmus Hjlund joined Napoli on loan from Manchester United and has scored nine goals in 20 appearances, including a brace at Cremonese. Napoli sit third in Serie A and occupy a Champions League qualifying position, which would trigger an obligation to buy under the loan agreement; an option to buy also exists. Hjlund moved to United from Atalanta in August 2023 for £64m plus potential add-ons and scored 14 Premier League goals in 62 games. The reported fee for a permanent Napoli transfer is £38m. Benjamin Sesko, signed by United as Hjlund's replacement, has struggled and scored twice since his arrival. Manchester United ended 2025 in sixth place amid fan backlash and criticism of tactical substitutions.
