Rumors About Rasmus Højlund’s Future
Rumors swirl around the future of striker Rasmus Højlund as Manchester United stands at a crossroads, with no clear decisions made as the summer transfer window approaches. After a challenging second season at Old Trafford, where the 22-year-old managed only four goals in the Premier League, doubts linger over his long-term position with the team.
United’s Search for Attacking Options
United is actively seeking to bolster their attacking options, especially after losing out on Liam Delap to Chelsea. The club has expressed interest in various players, closely observing Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres, among others. Recent conversations took place between Højlund’s agents and the club’s leadership regarding the Danish international’s status, with several clubs, including Inter Milan, reportedly interested and eager for updates.
Højlund’s Statement on His Future
“I have a contract until 2028, so I expect to play for Manchester United next season. I’m preparing for a summer vacation and then I’m all in for the project we have going.”
Despite the swirling speculation, sources indicate that the possibility of Højlund remaining with the club or even being loaned out has not been dismissed by United’s management. Højlund remains optimistic about his future, focusing on his contract and the next season.
Potential Impacts on the Squad
However, his place in the squad may hinge on whether United secures another striker before the start of the new campaign. Additionally, the club’s current priority lies in finalizing a deal for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, while progress has already been made for the signing of Matheus Cunha, expected to be wrapped up soon.
Concluding Thoughts
Given these developments, the next few weeks will be pivotal for both the club and Højlund as they navigate the evolving landscape of the transfer market.
