Report – Manchester United Flop Tops The Inter Milan List Of Strikers To Sign This Summer Inter Milan have reportedly placed Man Utd flop Rasmus Hojlund at the top of their summer wishlist. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Dane has leapfrogged other names on Beppe Marotta's shopping list.

As a result, chances of the ex-Sturm Graz star's return to Serie A are rapidly growing.
