“Rasmus Højlund Breaks His Silence After Facing Criticism for Controversial Post Following Man United’s Draw with Porto”
“Rasmus Højlund Responds to Backlash Over His Post After Manchester United’s Draw with Porto”
Rasmus Højlund has addressed criticism following his post made after Manchester United’s 3-3 draw with Porto.
After starting his first game of the season on Thursday and scoring United’s second goal, Højlund came under fire from fans. Despite his early contribution to a 2-0 lead, United faltered, allowing Porto to take a 3-2 advantage before Harry Maguire’s late equalizer salvaged a draw.
Højlund faced backlash for an Instagram post where he celebrated his goal, writing, “Luckily I had 6 weeks to practice my celebration. A win would’ve made it perfect,” which many saw as poorly timed given the team’s performance.
In response, Højlund issued an apology on his Instagram story the next day, clarifying that he never meant to upset fans and was simply happy to be back on the pitch after a difficult period. He expressed his commitment to the team, saying, “I’ll give everything to make you guys happy. Sorry yesterday’s post didn’t reflect that.”
United now face a challenging match against Aston Villa this weekend, and Højlund, who missed the start of the season due to injury, is preparing to give his all once again.
