The 20-year-old football prodigy comes at a reported cost of €70m and has inked a lucrative five-year contract with the iconic English club. Fans can now look forward to witnessing Højlund’s skills and potential on display for several seasons to come.

Rasmus Højlund said: “It is no secret that I have been a fan of this great club since I was a small boy, and I dreamed of walking out at Old Trafford as a Manchester United player.

“I am incredibly excited by this opportunity to turn that dream into a reality, and I am determined to repay the faith that the club has shown in me. It is still early in my career, but I know that I am ready to make this step up and play with this group of world-class players.
