Rasmus Hojlund has spent the previous two days at Carrington undergoing medical tests in preparation for his £64 million move.
An agreement was reached on Saturday night for the signing of the the young Danish striker from Atalanta.
Then it was said on Tuesday by Sky Sports that Manchester United were working on finalising the deal.
On the same day he was seen arriving at Carrington for his medical tests to be completed.
Many therefore expected an announcement today, however that now seems to be not the case.
Samuel Luckhurst has reported for MEN that the announcement of the transfer has been ‘delayed’.
He affirmed that the deal is not in jeopardy but that United could wait and announce him at the weekend.
United play two friendlies this weekend and will still be hopeful of Hojlund’s involvement in one of them.
