The 22-year-old has made 95 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 26 goals, including a disappointing 10 goals in 52 games during the 2024/25 campaign. Despite this, Højlund intends to stay with the club and prove himself under manager Ruben Amorim. His decision is reportedly driven by a desire to establish himself at the club.

According to reports, only a change of heart from Manchester United's management could lead to Højlund's departure to Inter Milan. Inter Milan's interest in Højlund has been ongoing for weeks, but a deal is currently on hold.

Should Manchester United decide to sell Højlund, manager Ruben Amorim is likely to target Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins as a replacement. Watkins has the quality to lead the frontline and help the club regain a spot in European competition.

Manchester United will begin their friendly schedule with a match against Leeds in Stockholm on July 19th, followed by a tour of the United States. The coming weeks will be crucial for the club as Højlund's future remains uncertain, and Watkins could potentially lead the attack against various opponents.
