Hojlund is said to be on the radar of Inter Milan, who could be willing to splash £40million on him.
But the striker revealed he expects to remain at Old Trafford for next season.
Hojlund told Sport TV2 after Denmark beat Northern Ireland 2-1 in a friendly yesterday: “I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United.
“I’m looking forward to going on a summer holiday and then I’m fully dedicated to the project that’s underway.

“I know I can’t get much out of reading things.
“I know what the facts are – and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030.
“I expect to play there, so I’m just getting ready for a summer holiday and then hopefully a good pre-season.”
Hojlund arrived from Atalanta two years ago in a deal worth an initial £64million, with £8million in potential add-ons.

But the Dane has struggled to live up to the price tag, scoring just ten goals in 52 appearances in the season just finished.
Despite his Man Utd difficulties, Hojlund is still rated highly in Italy and Napoli have also been linked with a shock swoop.
