Højlund vows to ‘fight for place’ but Amorim admits striker could leave Manchester United

Højlund vows to ‘fight for place’ but Amorim admits striker could leave Manchester United

Rasmus Højlund, the Danish striker for Manchester United, has vowed to "fight for his place" at the club despite the team's eagerness to sign a new striker. Manager Ruben Amorim was unable to offer any guarantees about Højlund's future after the player scored in a 4-1 pre-season win over Bournemouth. United are reportedly interested in acquiring either Benjamin Sesko or Ollie Watkins before the transfer window closes, as they aim to strengthen their attacking options after a disappointing 15th-place finish last season, during which they scored only 44 goals in 38 games. Højlund has struggled since his £72m move from Atalanta two years ago, scoring 14 times in 62 league appearances, but he netted the opener against Bournemouth, with Patrick Dorgu, Amad Diallo and Ethan Williams adding to the lead. Bournemouth's consolation goal came through a Matthijs de Light own goal.
