Rasmus Hojlund's trainer has dropped a major hint over the Danish striker's future amid mounting speculation around a move to Manchester United.
After the acquisition of Mason Mount, Erik ten Hag's next target is a striker and goalkeeper and Atalanta's Hojlund has been linked to Old Trafford in a deal that will set the Red Devils back about £50m.
And a cheeky Instagram video posted by his trainers ENERGETICX Copenhagen has hinted at a new step for the 20-year-old after one season with Atalanta.
A caption read 'We ready for what’s next', accompanied by a shushing emoji, as well as the grime music of Stormzy - a well known Manchester United fan.
The Red Devils remain confident that they can reach an agreement over Hojlund, despite Atalanta's initial high price tag on the Danish striker.

Mail Sport's Chris Wheeler previously noted that Man United were making smart decisions about retaining players and choosing cheaper alternatives in an effort to meet financial fair play rules.
Hojlund played 34 games for Atalanta last season, registering 10 goals and nabbing two assists too.
He helped the club finish fifth in the Serie A table, and they qualified for next season's Europa League competition.
However, the circumstances suggest his stay in Italy was a brief one.
As well as proving himself on a club level, he has proven to be an invaluable influence on the international scene too.
He also has six goals in four appearances in Denmark's Euro 2024 qualifying campaign to date, putting him joint at the top of the goalscorer's chart equal with Belgium's Romelu Lukaku.

Manchester United have been in pursuit of the Atalanta striker despite the initial valuation
As Mail Sport reported on Sunday, United are preparing a formal offer for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana this week after David de Gea officially left the club after 12 years on Saturday.
United have so far made verbal proposals and want Inter to compromise on their £51m asking price.
It's believed a deal in the region of £43million is set to be the compromise and the club foresee no problems in agreeing personal terms with the Cameroonian goalie.
United boss Erik ten Hag is keen to work with the 27-year-old again, having previously worked with him in their time together at Ajax.
