Rasmus Højlund moved to Manchester United for 75 million euros in the summer of 2023. Two years later, the attacker doesn’t even make it into the matchday squad.

For the season opener against Arsenal (5:30 pm), the Dane is simply left out. In recent weeks, there have been repeated rumors of a transfer for the 22-year-old, who has not yet really made an impact at the Red Devils. The fact that Højlund is completely absent against Arsenal – probably says it all about his future at United.

Incidentally, Arsenal’s star signing Viktor Gyökeres is celebrating his competitive debut for the Gunners.
