Hojlund, 23, joined the Italian champions on a season-long loan last summer after losing his place in Ruben Amorim's plans at Manchester United. He has since scored 11 goals in 30 Serie A appearances under Antonio Conte, emerging as one of the more successful Premier League exits of recent seasons.
Manna was unambiguous about the club's intentions when speaking to reporters.
"There are no doubts. Rasmus will stay here. We have an obligation to buy from Manchester United in case of Champions League access, but he is in our plans regardless of this condition."
Napoli currently sit second in Serie A behind Inter Milan, who have already secured the Scudetto. The second Champions League place remains within reach but is not yet guaranteed, with several clubs separated by slim margins heading into the final weeks of the season.
Hojlund joined United from Atalanta for around £72 million in 2023 and was asked to lead the line immediately in a struggling team. He scored 26 goals in 95 appearances across all competitions, a return that never matched the fee paid for him. Former United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel was among those to express sympathy for how the situation was managed.
"A bit of a shame because I like Hojlund by the way. But what they did with him was wrong — they brought a young boy in who's got no Premier League experience and asked him to carry Manchester United."
Hojlund has already agreed improved personal terms on a long-term contract at Napoli. With United understood to be willing to move on from the deal and reinvest, the transfer is expected to be completed without complication once the season concludes.
