According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United has contacted Bayern to start negotiations for 22-year-old Danish striker Rasmus Højlund. United wants the player to go on loan first, with an option to buy next summer. Bayern has not yet responded to the offer. Højlund joined United in 2023 from Atalanta for 80 million euros. The Danish forward has not met expectations, scoring 26 goals in 95 appearances. His contract expires in June 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €35.00m.
