United signed Hojlund, 24, two years ago for a huge £72million.
But he suffered another tough season, scoring just four times in the the Premier League.
And United now value him as low as £29.5m.
Now, Sky Sports say Milan are ready to find out what United's terms would be as they work out whether a deal could be possible financially.
Hojlund has expressed his intent to remain at Old Trafford and prove his worth, and is contracted until 2028.
But he could find regular football harder to come by in the upcoming season after United agreed a transfer worth £71million for Mbuemo.
United had been dragging their feet in their pursuit of the Cameroon international but were finally successful with a belated third bid.
Mbeumo, 25, scored a total of 20 goals in the Premier League last season for the Bees.

Amorim's 3-4-3 formation is expected to have Mbeumo on the right, alongside other new United recruit Matheus Cunha on the left.
Cunha cost the team £62.5m and is joining from Wolves.

Askou 'not happy' with second half at Ochilview
Manager Jens Berthel Askou says he was "not happy" with Motherwell's second-half display as they laboured to another win over a lower-league side at O'Donnell's fortunate back-post finish in the 41st minute proved enough to send the Fir Park side top of their Premier Sports Cup group, but Askou felt his team were too content to sit on their lead at Ochilview. "The first half was actually quite good," he said in a club video. "We found a high tempo at times, were dangerous also on set-pieces, should have produced some bigger chances."But being 1-0 up at half time, it gave us the composure and the calmness in the team that we maybe haven't had the first couple of games where we've been chasing and chasing and chasing."And maybe that was the reason that we slowed down a little bit in the second half, I don't know. No matter what, I'm not happy with the performance in the second half."We need to produce more, bigger chances in a game like that when we dominate so much."

Hugo Ekitike: Liverpool agree £82m deal for Eintracht Frankfurt forward
Liverpool have agreed an £82.3million deal to sign the Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike as the club take their summer spending above £260million. The Premier League champions will pay about £78million plus £4.3million in add-ons for the France Under 21 striker, who will join on a six-year deal. Ekitike will not join the Liverpool squad, who are scheduled to travel to Hong Kong on Sunday night for the start of their ten-day pre-season tour of Asia, but he could join the trip at a later date. They play AC Milan on July 26, before travelling to Japan where they will face Yokohoma F Marinos on July 30. Ekitike scored 22 goals and claimed 12 assists in all competitions last season, helping Frankrurt qualify for the Champions League. He will join fellow new signings Florian Wirtz, the Germany attacking midfielder who cost a club-record £116million from Bayer Leverkusen, Jeremie Frimpong, the Netherlands right back who cost £29million from the same club, and Milos Kerkez, the Hungary left back who cost £40million from Bournemouth. Giorgi Mamardashvili, the Georgia goalkeeper, has joined in a £29million deal agreed with Valencia last year. They also signed Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman, both goalkeepers. Liverpool have been wanting to sign at least one forward and beat off interest in him from Manchester United and Newcastle United, whose £70million offer was rejected last week. Last week, Newcastle were braced for a £130million offer from Liverpool for their star striker Alexander Isak, but the club have maintained the 25-year old Swede is not for sale. He missed the club's pre-season defeat to Celtic on Saturday. Ekitike, who was an unused sub for Frankfurt in a pre-season friendly on Saturday, came through at Reims and left for Paris St-Germain, initially on loan in 2022. He struggled and joined Eintracht, initially on loan, in February 2024 before a permanent move for £14million last summer. He was linked with Arsenal and Chelsea recently. The Merseyside club look likely to need to make sales. Ekitike's arrival will mean that Liverpool have 25 players over the age of 21, 18 of whom are classed as overseas players. Clubs are permitted to name a maximum 25-man squad, featuring no more than 17 overseas players. Liverpool are expected to sell Darwin Núñez, amid interest from AC Milan and the Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. Luis Díaz, who played as a centre forward for part of last season, is wanted by Barcelona and Bayern Munich. The futures of Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott are unclear and Diogo Jota died in a car accident this month.
