Man Utd dealt Rasmus Hojlund transfer boost with £40m striker deal agreed
Rasmus Hojlund could leave Manchester United this summer, with Fulham interested in the striker as a potential replacement for Rodrigo Muniz who is on the verge of joining Atalanta Italian giants Atalanta are closing in on a £40million deal for Rodrigo Muniz - which could spark a merry-go-round involving Rasmus Hojlund. Fulham have been resolute in saying they must bring in a replacement before allowing Muniz to leave and yet talks with Atalanta are now accelerating. The Serie A club believe they are finally making progress after a week of frustration considering re-signing Hojlund as a back-up option. But now Fulham are interested in Manchester United's out-of-favour striker who will be allowed to leave Old Trafford after the Red Devils spent £200m on a new forward line this summer of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. Hojlund was left out of the squad for United's opening game of the season against Arsenal on Sunday, with Cunha starting up front and Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee making the bench. When asked about Hojlund's absence, Ruben Amorim said: "It is going to be like this during the season. "We have more options, we have to choose the right players for each game. Sometimes, it's not just thinking about 11 guys that start the game and imagine how we are going to finish the game and win the game. "They are in moments of a few training sessions for Josh and, with Sesko, he changed his life in one week. We tried to choose the best team to start and then, during the game, we will see." AC Milan are also looking to sign a new striker this summer and sporting director Igli Tare has confirmed the club are interested in Hojlund. Speaking to Sport Mediaset, Tare said: "Hojlund is a good option for us. "We are evaluating him these days, but the transfer market is unpredictable. We know that we have to intervene in that position and we also know that they must be players who can give something more to this group." Hojlund joined United from Atalanta for a fee of around £72m back in 2023, but he has struggled to make much of an impact after managing just 26 goals in 95 appearances across all competitions. However, when asked about his future earlier this summer, Hojlund said: "I think the most important thing for me is just to keep working hard and stay focused and then obviously we'll see what happens. "I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to stay and fight for my spot, whatever happens. I'm still very young. I think people forget that sometimes. I'm only 22. Obviously, not every striker is scoring 100 goals at the age of 22 (like Erling Haaland). "But I've learned a lot, I think you can see in my game. I'm starting to develop and become even better in the basics. Now it's just about for me to sharpen myself and I've done very well in the pre-season so far. Just focusing on continuing that. "Competition is fine with me. It sharpens me. I'm more than ready. I'm feeling sharp, so I'm welcoming everything that comes. I think it's good with competition and it only sharpens the team."

Race to save woman stuck 22,000ft up Victory Peak with broken leg and no food
Avid thrill seeker Natalia Nagovitsina has been stuck up Victory Peak in Kyrgyzstan for about a week after she suffered a significant injury and needed a sleeping bag to be delivered to her Desperate rescue attempts are underway to save a female climber stuck for a week about 22,965ft up a mountain with a broken leg and no food and little water. Russian Natalia [Natasha] Nagovitsina, 47, has been marooned for a week. Her partner gave her first aid after an accident on their descent, and went down the mountain to summon help. Repeated missions to save her have failed because of bad weather on 24,406ft Victory Peak in Kyrgyzstan. The experienced climber is famous because four years ago she refused orders to leave her husband - who had suffered a stroke at 22,638ft. She survived by a miracle after comforting him on the mountain, but was unable to save him. An initial attempt to reach Nagovitsina - who was injured on 12 August - failed due to bad weather, though rescuers were able to deliver a sleeping bag. Worse followed when a defence ministry Mi-8 helicopter carrying six rescuers ran into turbulence and crash-landed on the mountainside, injuring the pilot and one rescuer. Another helicopter, a Mi-17VM, was later sent, but zero visibility again forced rescuers back. During a rescue attempt an Italian climber died and two more - Russian and German - were injured, according to reports. A fresh attempt to reach and evacuate the marooned mountaineer is expected. In 2021, her radio conversion with base camp went viral as she refused to leave husband Sergei Nogovitsin at a similar altitude - 22,638ft - who suffered a debilitating stroke during an ascent of Khan Tengri close to the border of Khan Tengri, close to the borders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China. 'He can't sit up, falls on his side, his speech is confused,' she told rescuers. 'Natasha, you need to go down yourself. You won't be able to help him in any way. Do you understand me? Over.' She replied: 'I understand everything, but I will not leave him alone. Natasha, answer…..Listening…' 'You need to go down, Natasha, the weather is getting worse, it's almost night. I won't leave my husband, he's completely helpless, I'm giving him something to drink.' 'So, your decision is to spend the night next to him? Yes.' Rescuers eventually reached the pair and two men tried to move Sergey while she went down. But they could not go far, and secured him with ropes, and left all their warm clothing and food, before cutting a route further down the mountain, to get more help. An account said: 'Most likely in delirium….he broke out of ropes and crashed to his death. His body has never been found.' His body was never found. The account continued: 'A year later Natalia once again went to Khan Tengri to install a plaque in memory of her husband. But no one in the new group had any idea what this courageous woman had lived through on that summit a year earlier – a woman who showed the whole world what love and self-sacrifice mean.'
