Rasmus Hojlund expects 'to play for Manchester United' next season as he cools exit talk - 'I have a contract until 2030'

Rasmus Hojlund insists he is "fully dedicated" to Manchester United as he cooled talk of leaving the club this summer. A measly return of 14 goals in 62 Premier League appearances for the Reds has led to speculation that the Old Trafford giants might look to cash in on their £72m striker. But the 22-year-old says he has no plans to leave, as he looks to cement his place in the team.

Rasmus Hojlund has played down talk of a Manchester United exit this summer.

The striker has struggled for form since moving to the Premier League in August 2023, scoring just 14 times in 62 top flight appearances.

That has led to speculation that the Reds may look to offload him during the transfer window.

Italian giants Inter Milan are one of several clubs linked with the Dane.

But he has no plans to leave Old Trafford, after telling Bold: "I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United.

"I’m looking forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I’m fully dedicated to the project that’s underway."

Hojlund's problems in front of goal were exacerbated this season, as he netted only four times in the Premier League.

With United having splashed out £72m to secure his services from Atalanta two years ago, they would have expected a better return in the final third.

Even a change of manager has struggled to see the 22-year-old find his best form.

Since Ruben Amorim's arrival at Old Trafford in November, the Dane has scored eight times in 40 appearances. That includes a 21-game drought between mid-December and mid-March.

United's problems from an attacking sense were far from restricted to the output of Hojlund though.

Their tally of 44 goals over the course of the 2024/25 season was the club's lowest of the Premier League era.

As such, they have moved to strengthen their strikeforce, with Matheus Cunha arriving from Wolves and Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo also a target.

That potentially puts Hojlund's position in the squad under pressure, but he is not letting any speculation get to him.

"As I’ve told you before, I try to stay away from all that," he added. "Because it’s both for better and for worse these days."
