Rasmus Højlund — still a Manchester United player but on a season‑long loan at Napoli — has been named in Denmark’s squad for the upcoming play‑off tie with North Macedonia. (manutd.com) The semi‑final is set for March 26 at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, with the winner progressing to a play‑off final against either Ireland or the Czech Republic. (uefa.com) Manchester United confirmed the loan on September 1, 2025, and recorded that Højlund had made 95 appearances for the club, scoring 26 goals before the temporary move to Napoli. (manutd.com) Coverage of the transfer details reports Napoli paid about €6m upfront for the loan and that the deal contains a conditional obligation to buy — commonly reported at roughly €44m (£38m) if Napoli qualify for the Champions League. (football-italia.net) Napoli’s sporting director has said the club want to keep Højlund beyond the loan spell, and recent match tallies put him at roughly 13 goals in 35 appearances for Napoli this season. (sportskeeda.com) Multiple outlets report Manchester United will decide Højlund’s long‑term status in the summer window, with analysis noting his pathway at Old Trafford narrowed after Benjamin Sesko’s arrival.
