Rasmus Højlund, Manchester United’s high-profile striker acquisition, has faced a challenging season. And falling short of the expectations that accompanied his arrival from Atalanta.
Touted as a long-term fix for the club’s attacking issues, the 21-year-old has struggled to make a consistent impact. Managing only three goals in 26 Premier League appearances, a return that has led to growing doubts about his readiness to lead the line at a club of United’s caliber.
As reported by Fichajes, Juventus are closely tracking Højlund’s situation and may consider a summer move for the Danish international.

The Serie A side sees potential for him to regain form in an environment more aligned with his strengths. Especially given his previous success in Italy with Atalanta.
While United remain hopeful about his long-term development. They could be open to offers if it supports their plans to restructure the squad, potentially bringing in a more experienced forward to fit into Ruben Amorim’s vision.
Though Højlund has been regularly featured under Amorim, he continues to face criticism for his lack of goals. Despite earning praise for his energy, off-the-ball movement, and commitment, his finishing remains a concern.
United set Højlund price
Juventus believe a return to Serie A, with its more measured pace, might help the now 22-year-old rediscover his sharpness in front of goal.

Nevertheless, United are still undecided about parting ways. Maintaining hope that the striker could flourish with better tactical support and improved service.
Should the Premier League club opt to sell, reports indicate they would demand at least €60 million. A valuation that reflects both Højlund’s potential and his age.
Højlund, now 22, joined Manchester United from Atalanta in 2023 for an initial fee of €75 million. Since making the move, he has found the net just 24 times across 85 appearances, a return that has yet to match the club’s significant investment.
