Rasmus Winther Højlund

Rasmus Winther Højlund

Rasmus Winther Højlund attacks space and threatens the channel with rapid bursts, using his pace to run beyond the line. Rasmus Winther Højlund debuted for Copenhagen in October 2020, then broke through at Sturm Graz in 2022. He then joined Atalanta for a €17m move. In 2023, Manchester United signed him for £64m and he soon established himself as a mobile Number 9. International note: he scored 7 goals in Euro 2024 qualifying for Denmark. On Napoli on loan since September 2025, Højlund remains a mobile Number 9 who pins centre-backs and threatens the back post. He presses high and uses vertical runs to create separation for teammates. On the pitch, Rasmus Winther Højlund finishes moves when space opens.
