Rasmus Højlund’s Career
Højlund engaged in youth football at Brøndby before transitioning to Copenhagen’s youth system. His professional debut for Copenhagen occurred at the age of 17 in October 2020. In the 2021–22 season, he marked his entry into European competitions, contributing 5 goals in the UEFA Europa Conference League during both qualification rounds and the main tournament.
In January 2022, Højlund made a move to the Austrian Bundesliga club Sturm Graz. Across all competitions for the remainder of the 2021–22 season and the beginning of the 2022–23 season, he impressively scored 12 goals in 21 games.
By 27 August 2022, Højlund had inked a deal with Serie A club Atalanta. His inaugural goal for Atalanta materialized on 5 September in a 2–0 away victory over Monza. Initially occupying a substitute role at the season’s commencement, he solidified his presence in the squad owing to the lacklustre form and injuries of the typical starter, Duván Zapata. In January 2023, he notably showcased his prowess by scoring 4 goals in 4 consecutive games.
Come 29 July 2023, Premier League side Manchester United reached an agreement to acquire Højlund from Atalanta, with the player consenting to a five-year deal extendable by an additional year. The official announcement of his affiliation with United was made on 5 August 2023, contingent on international clearance. Højlund inaugurated his debut on 4 September 2023, stepping in for Anthony Martial in the 67th minute during a Premier League match against Arsenal, which concluded in a 3–1 defeat.
In September 2022, Højlund partook in his initial international matches for Denmark against Croatia and France in the UEFA Nations League. On 23 March 2023, he secured his first international start, achieving a hat-trick in a 3–1 victory against Finland during the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying, marking his inaugural goal for his country.
