The club made their first proposal for the Danish striker earlier this week, with PSG also keen.
Their initial bid was £50 million, despite predictions that Atalanta would seek up to £86 million to sell one of their finest assets.
According to BBC Sport, United will keep to their own valuation of the striker and will not go above it, despite PSG’s late interest throwing a wrench in Erik ten Hag’s plans.
The Dutchman is in need of a centre forward before the start of the new season, with United anxious to relieve the goalscoring pressure on Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes.
The team appears to have taken a significant step forward in sealing the Dane’s official transfer.
Romano stated on Twitter that United had finally reached a full agreement with Atalanta on a transfer for Hojlund, and divulged the financial specifics of the deal.
