Man Utd want Joselu! Ex-Stoke City forward targeted for 'Premier League experience' as current Real Madrid man included in Red Devils' plans for Rasmus Hojlund

Two English scouts reportedly spoke with the Real Madrid striker's representatives a few weeks ago to inquire about his circumstances, according to <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/mercado-fichajes/manchester-united-vigila-joselu-20240327202618-nt.html" target="_blank">Relevo</a>. The plan would be for him to come to Old Trafford as an experienced backup striker for Rasmus Hojlund. He has already been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/joselu-much-more-newcastle-flop-key-real-madrid-trophy-hunt/blt8799cc3e95c75aa7" target="_blank">performing well in his role at Real Madrid</a> and a similar role could suit him in the Premier League.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Hojlund had a difficult start to life at Old Trafford with the Danish striker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/man-utd-rasmus-hojlund-reflects-long-forgotten-premier-league-goal-drought-brace-luton/bltb3af0f7edf96143c" target="_blank">having failed to score for the first three months</a> in the Premier League, however, since then Hojlund hit a goalscoring streak in the league for the Red Devils and has settled in well until his injury ruled him out of action. The club believe that Joselu could provide the perfect support for the 21-year-old on and off the field, especially given his experience in the Premier League. The Spaniard spent a combined three years in the English top flight playing for Stoke City and Newcastle United.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Despite Joselu currently playing with Real Madrid, he is still contracted with Espanyol, who are in the second division of Spanish football. It has been reported that Los Blancos have already made the decision to sign 34-year-old but movement from the Premier League side could disrupt the future plans.

DID YOU KNOW?

Joselu has just rejoined training with Carlo Ancelotti's side after the commencement of his international duties with the Spanish national team. He will likely remain as a substitute when Real Madrid take on Athletic Club on March 31.
