On May 5, Hupu Sports announced that according to what was reported by the British media known as the "Manchester Evening News", after Naples is sure to qualify for the Champions League next season, a mandatory buyout clause will be activated. The amount of this mandatory buyout clause is 44 million euros, equivalent to 38 million pounds, to buy forward Hoylen from Manchester United.
The Serie A side are in second place with 70 points, suggesting they can qualify for the Champions League if they beat Bologna on Monday night and fifth-placed Roma fail to beat Parma on Sunday. Even if Naples cannot lock in a Champions League spot in this round, they are almost certain to be able to participate in this competition, so Hoylund's departure from Manchester United is considered a foregone conclusion.
This season, Naples paid Hoylund a loan fee of 6 million euros, which is 5.2 million pounds. When Manchester United recovers 44 million euros, or 38 million pounds, it will follow the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainable Development Rules, also known as PSR, to avoid losses on the forward. Last summer, although Amorim allowed Hoylen to participate in pre-season games, he still excluded him from the plan. During the summer tour of the United States, Hoylund expressed his desire to fight for his place, but he was subsequently absent from the squad for games against Arsenal, Fulham and Grimsby at the start of the season.
On August 9, after Manchester United signed Sheshko from RB Leipzig for 73.62 million pounds, they put Hoylen on the transfer market. Sheshko scored 12 goals in Manchester's first season. After Hoylen joined from Atlanta, he played in Manchester. In the first season of United, he scored 16 goals in all competitions, but his performance deteriorated in the second season, scoring only ten goals. In an interview with TV2 in March, Hoylen reviewed his decision to leave Manchester United: "My transfer achieved the result I wanted.". I gained a team that believed in me, a club that believed in me, a sporting director, a president and a coach who wanted me. There was a time when I was at Manchester United when I thought everything was over. In Naples, I rediscovered my love for football. Even in Denmark, people had already made up their minds about me, but I never stopped believing.
He went on to say that in the final stages of Manchester United, I was put aside, as if put on hold. I know in my heart that if this continues, I won't be able to play in many games. I'm very happy to be able to play football in Manchester. I know that, especially in Denmark, the media created the impression that everything was terrible and a disaster and that I was as bad as a bag of nuts, but I didn't think so. It’s hard not to look at your phone. If you look at your phone, you're bound to be aware of how others are writing about you in some way. Messages can come from all sorts of places these days, but usually it’s because you were @@ed on Instagram or Facebook. So I'd be lying if I said you didn't see those reports. "
It is clear at a glance that there are differences between Napoli and Manchester United, especially in Denmark. But I have to accept these headlines – they always happen because someone wants to use me to attract attention. Hoylund will bid farewell to Manchester United this summer with a record of 26 goals in 96 games.
