- ‘Damn bored’ – Crystal Palace star jokes about losing record to Manchester United signing
When it was annou that Man
chester United were close to signing Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta, a man was said to have checked the feenced.
This is Joachim Andersen, who plays at Crystal Palace, because as of this summer he holds the record as the Danish player with the most players in history.
Højlund’s move to Manchester United has largely erased that, and that’s the question the Eagles defender was asked by a reporter during the first round of interviews during his international break against Denmark, according to reports.
Report by Ekstrabladet.
His answer?
Very ironic, as he laughed right after his first reaction.
He say:
“It was uncomfortable.
No, it’s great that Rasmus made that decision.
It’s also worth it.
He did well.
Manchester United need a striker so it makes sense for them to buy a good striker.
Andersen is acquired by CrystalPalace for 17.
5 million euros in 2021, while Højlund’s deal could be worth 75 million euros.
The Eagles defender’s transfer fee was not only surpassed by Manchester United but topped again a few weeks later when Napoli spent €30m on Eintracht’s Jesper Lindstrøm Frankfurt.
Højlund has since made only one appearance for the Reds, coming on as a substitute against Arsenal in their final game.
As for Andersen, he is currently a regular starter at Crystal Palace, starting and finishing all four Premier League appearances this season, scoring one goal.
