Rasmus Højlund insists he wants to stay and fight for his place at Old Trafford, despite Manchester United’s eagerness to sign a new striker. Ruben Amorim was unable to offer the Danish international any guarantees over his future after Højlund scored in a 4-1 pre-season win over Bournemouth on Wednesday.
United are interested acquiring either Benjamin Sesko or Ollie Watkins after a difficult season in front of goal when they scored 44 goals in 38 games on the way to a disappointing 15th-placed finish. Højlund has struggled since his £72m move from Atalanta two years ago, scoring 14 times in 62 league appearances but got the opener in Chicago. Patrick Dorgu, Amad Diallo and Ethan Williams increased the lead while Bournemouth’s consolation came courtesy of a Matthijs de Light own goal.
