Rasmus Hojlund insists he is ‘fully dedicated’ to Ruben Amorim’s project at Manchester United and says he ‘expects’ to be at Old Trafford for many more years.
Hojlund has been heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan in recent weeks, with reports in Italy even claiming the striker has already agreed a deal with the Serie A giants.
Manchester United spent over £70m to sign Hojlund from Atalanta in 2023 and the 22-year-old scored a respectable 16 goals during his first season inEngland.
But Hojlund went backwards last term – scoring just four goals in 32 Premier League appearances – and United are believed to be open to offers as they look to bring an elite goalscorer to Old Trafford.
Amorim is a known admirer of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres and the Swede’s arrival at United would force Hojlund out of the team.

Inter Milan have not been deterred by Hojlund’s Manchester struggles, however, and are keen to bring him to the club this summer.
It is claimed Inter want to sign Hojlund on loan for the 2025-26 campaign before making his stay permanent next summer for around £38m.
But Hojlund believes he will still be a United player come next season, telling Norwegian outlet Ekstra Bladet: ‘I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United.
‘I’m looking forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I’m fully dedicated to the project that’s underway.’
Asked whether he was aware of rumours linking him with Inter, Hojlund added: ‘No.
‘As I’ve told you before, I try to stay away from all that, because it’s both for better and for worse these days.

‘I know I can’t get much out of reading things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030.
‘I expect to play there, so I’m just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good pre-season.’
Hojlund was speaking after Denmark beat Northern Ireland 2-1 in a friendly on Saturday. The striker started the game but was subbed off on 66 minutes.

Hojlund’s performance was widely criticised by Danish media but national team boss Brian Riemer defended the Manchester United forward.
‘I’m super upset for Rasmus,’ he said.
‘It was planned that he could have had a nice first half, but when you stand as one nine, and Damsgaard ends up standing too wide, so we suddenly lack a lot of points around Rasmus, he becomes isolated, and then the match ends as it does.
‘It’s a bit on my shoulders. I should have been better at fixing it in the first half. It was difficult for him, and it wasn’t what we had hoped for.’
Hojlund, meanwhile, said of his display: ‘I have high demands on myself, and I would have liked to have handled some balls a little better than I did.
‘Then you can always talk about how someone should have been closer and so on, but generally I take it on my own shoulders.
‘Now I have played 25 international matches, have a lot of experience and play for one of the world’s biggest clubs, so I also think I have to do better.’
