According to BBC reporter Simon Stone, Manchester United did not forcibly push Hoylen to leave the team, and Milan is currently leading the battle.

Hoylen was not forced to leave the team by Manchester United, but if he decides to transfer, the club will assist him in finding a new partner. Two weeks ago, Hoylund found a reporter after United's pre-season win over Bournemouth, insisting that he wanted to stay at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have since signed Sesco from Leipzig for £73.7 million, and Hoylen sat on the bench throughout the last pre-season friendly against Fiorentina.

Although sources denied that Hoylen was told that there will be no chance of playing this season, considering that Manchester United has invested more than £200 million to create a new attack line and no European mission this season, the Danish player's chances of playing will be obviously limited, so Hoylen is currently reconsidering his situation.

Several clubs are interested in Hoylen, and Milan is currently in the lead, with signs that Manchester United is willing to accept a loan deal with an initial fee, with an option to buy next summer to give the 22-year-old a chance to get back form.

The details of the rental fee and purchase options are not yet agreed, as Hoylund has not yet made a clear decision on his future.
