In a dramatic twist that has taken the football world by surprise, Rasmus Højlund has reportedly expressed interest in a return to Manchester United — but with a shocking demand that has left fans divided.

The Danish forward, who has been in exceptional form recently, is said to be open to rejoining United under one condition. According to reports, Højlund told close sources that he would only consider coming back to Old Trafford if one specific player is removed from the squad.

“I know Ruben Amorim wants me back badly, but it will never happen unless they part ways with that player. I can’t share the same dressing room with him again,” Højlund allegedly revealed during a confidential interview.

His comments have sparked intense speculation among supporters, with many trying to identify the mystery player he referred to. Insiders suggest that the rift between them began during his previous spell at the club — a conflict believed to have started either from personal tension or a heated training-ground clash that never truly healed.

Reports from within the United camp indicate that the relationship between Højlund and the unnamed teammate collapsed completely last season, playing a role in the young striker’s frustration and eventual departure. Manager Ruben Amorim, who views Højlund as a key part of his rebuilding project, is said to be facing a tough dilemma — as removing the player in question could create more unrest in the squad.

Even so, Højlund’s willingness to don the Manchester United shirt again has reignited excitement among fans who still view him as one of Europe’s most promising young talents. “He’s ready to fight for the club again, but only if the environment is healthy,” a source close to the situation revealed. “He’s not going back to a toxic setup.”

Reactions from supporters have flooded social media, with heated debates over the identity of the “problem player.” Some fans are urging the club to resolve the situation swiftly, believing Højlund’s return could spark a revival at Old Trafford. Others argue that no single player should dictate transfer policy, though many admit they respect the striker’s honesty and commitment to a positive team atmosphere.

With INEOS reportedly determined to support Amorim’s long-term vision, the big question now is whether Manchester United will take the bold step needed to welcome Højlund back — on his terms.
