Mini bio
How it started.
Rasmus grew up playing at Hørsholm-Usserød Idrætsforening. His father Anders had played for B.93, and his younger brothers Emil and Oscar also joined FC Copenhagen’s youth setup. In October 2020, Rasmus made his senior Copenhagen debut at 17.
Finding his way.
A move to Sturm Graz in January 2022 brought regular goals, including two on his Austrian Bundesliga debut. Atalanta signed the left-footed striker that August. He scored 10 goals in 34 appearances in his season there before joining Manchester United in August 2023.
The breakthrough.
His first three senior Denmark goals arrived together: a hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Finland in March 2023. At United, he became the first Dane to win Premier League Player of the Month in February 2024, during a scoring run of six consecutive league appearances.
A new chapter in Naples.
Rasmus joined Napoli on loan in September 2025 and scored on his debut. He then struck twice against Sporting in the Champions League and helped Napoli win the Italian Super Cup. Napoli confirmed his permanent transfer in June 2026.
