The Manchester United striker, Rasmus Højlund, is at a crossroads regarding his future at the club. Although his main desire is to stay at Old Trafford, the Danish player could be forced to reconsider his position due to the lack of regular playing time.
Højlund Considers His Future
Sources close to the player indicate that Højlund is not willing to leave Manchester United this summer. However, the situation could change. The arrival of Benjamin Sesko has generated uncertainty about his role in the team.
The striker has expressed, both publicly and privately to the club’s directors, his preference to stay at United. However, after being a substitute in the pre-season friendly against Fiorentina, Højlund is evaluating his options.
The club is not forcing Højlund’s departure, but is open to listening to offers, both for loan and permanent transfer.Rasmus Højlund fue suplente contra la Fiorentina el sábado.AC Milan is interested in a one-season loan with an option to buy next summer.
Højlund has experience in Serie A, where he scored nine goals in 32 matches with Atalanta before his transfer to United in 2023 for 72 million pounds.
The player has worked hard to get to the club he supported since he was a child, going through FC Copenhagen, Sturm Graz and Atalanta.

During the pre-season tour of the United States, Højlund performed well and even scored a goal in the 4-1 victory over Bournemouth in Chicago. After the match, Højlund stated that his “plan is very clear and it is to stay and fight for my place”.
However, after not playing a single minute against Fiorentina, Højlund, who has three years left on his contract, has softened his stance.
His representatives have explored alternatives, including conversations with Milan, but the final decision on where he will play this season will depend on Højlund himself.
