Manchester United open to selling Rasmus Højlund amid player’s struggles

Manchester United could consider selling Rasmus Højlund after a disappointing season, despite initially viewing him as untouchable.

The Danish striker, signed for £72m from Atalanta under former manager Erik ten Hag, has failed to meet expectations, scoring just two Premier League goals and going 11 league matches without finding the net.

Current United boss Ruben Amorim is reportedly unconvinced by the 21-year-old’s performances.

This has sparked interest from Serie A giants Napoli and Juventus, who are monitoring his situation closely.

Højlund’s underwhelming form could prompt United to offload him, though they would likely have to accept a significant financial loss.

In total, Højlund has recorded 23 goals and three assists in 71 appearances for Manchester United, but his future at Old Trafford could depend on how he performs for the remainder of the season.
