Rasmus Højlund is a powerful young Danish centre-forward whose pace and physical presence mark him out as one of the more promising strikers of his generation. He emerged rapidly through Danish and Austrian football before an eye-catching season at Atalanta earned him a major transfer to Manchester United.
A full international for Denmark, he leads the line with directness and a willingness to run in behind, and continues to develop into a modern number nine capable of stretching defences and finishing at the highest level.
