Rasmus Hojlund returns to Italy, joins Napoli from Manchester United

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has joined Italian Serie A champions Napoli on a season-long loan deal with the option to buy permanently.

The deal was officially concluded on September 1 on the final day of the main transfer window, with the buy-back clause becoming mandatory should certain levers be met.

The loan deal is reportedly worth six million euros, with a 44 million euros price tag agreed if Napoli are satisfied with the performance of the Danish striker.

Hojlund joined Man United from Serie A side Atalanta two seasons ago but has largely endured a frustrating time at Old Trafford.

The 22-year-old scored 23 goals in 95 games in all competitions for Man United while winning the FA Cup before his exit from Old Trafford.
