As Cesco's deal is close to completion, Hoylund's future has become a concern for fans. Although Manchester City still has room for competition at the center position, with Hoylund's performance, it is difficult to get a stable playing time at Manchester City. According to reports from several English media, Milan will sign Hoylund by renting first and then buying, of which the loan fee is about 5 million pounds, and bears the entire salary of the players. The contract will include a buyout clause of 35 million pounds, and the total price will reach Manchester United's psychological expectations of 40 million pounds.

Hoilund came to the Premier League from Serie A with a transfer fee of 80 million euros, but his overall performance and growth rate did not meet the team's expectations. The players have not yet found the pace of scoring. Although they have achieved some success in the European game, the performance of the league is still not satisfactory enough. This is also the key reason why Manchester United spent a high price to sign Sesco again in the summer window this year. With the arrival of Cesco, Hoylund's position at Manchester United has declined again. It is unknown whether he can become a rotational substitute for the team in the future, which is also difficult for the 22-year-old young man to accept.

The styles of Serie A and Premier League are very different. Although Hoylund is in good physical condition, he is not ideal in terms of running without the ball, choosing opportunities and performing on the defensive end. Moreover, there is a big gap with Amorin's tactical requirements. It will be difficult to get the starting position unless there is obvious progress in a short period of time. After returning to Serie A, with the changes in the team's style and the slowdown in the league pace, perhaps Hoylund can perform better, which will also be of great help to regain his confidence.

Judging from the current news, Milan rents first and then buys to sign Hoylund, which is acceptable for both clubs. Otherwise, it will be difficult to complete the transfer in the summer window with Hoylund's £40 million or even a higher asking price before. Milan currently needs new players to join the center position, but it is difficult for the team to provide too high transfer fees. Being able to loan Hoylund at a relatively low price is a very good choice. Moreover, the player's weekly salary is around 100,000 pounds, and Milan will not have too much salary pressure.

Hoilund's biggest advantage is that he is young enough and still has a lot of room for improvement at the age of 22. At least he still has the opportunity to try and make mistakes. Being able to win the favor of Milan is also a recognition of him. Judging from his performance at Manchester United, perhaps his technical ability has shortcomings and his progress is relatively slow, but his attitude has not had much problem and has not become a trouble for the locker room. This is still very rare in Manchester United's locker room. Now that he returns to Serie A, if Hoylund can regain his confidence and find the feeling of scoring, he may still have a chance to return to the Premier League in the future.
