In the past week, 20-year-old Hoylund has been the talk of the global soccer world for his outstanding performances, and has been hailed as "Little Harland". The starlet had his second successive Euro qualifier, with a hat-trick against Finland and two goals in Kazakhstan. It is worth mentioning that Hoylund only joined Serie A rivals Atalanta last year, and has already contributed eight goals this season. His contract runs until 2027, and the transfer fee is only £35 million, which is a cost-effective choice in United's attraction list, and is far lower than the £37 million paid by Amad Diallo, who was signed by the Red Devils from Atalanta in 2020. Facing a winger drought this season, United are desperate to bring in a strong winger in this summer's transfer window, and Hoylund is undoubtedly a highly promising candidate. Currently, United lacks a true No. 9 in their squad to compete for Premier League and even Champions League honors. Despite wearing the No. 9, Martial has had injury problems and inconsistent performances. On-loan center forward Verhulst has struggled hard but has scored very few goals, contributing only two so far, including none in the Premier League. Rashford has been United's top scorer this season, with 27 goals in all competitions, a new career high. However, Bruno Fernandes is right behind him with only 10 goals. It's worth noting that United have played 46 games this season, while 27-year-old winger Martial has played in just 14, and hasn't completed 90 minutes since 2021. In the last three seasons, Martial has scored just 14 goals. His £250,000-a-week contract expires next year and United have a one-year right of first refusal to extend it. Therefore, now is the best time for United to sell Martial.
