Rasmus Hojlund has admitted to feeling guilty over Denmark’s Euro 2024 exit after failing to score in the tournament.

The Manchester United striker took to social media after Denmark’s 2-0 defeat to Germany in their round-of-16 tie on Saturday night.

Hojlund missed several good chances in Dortmund with ITV pundits Ian Wright and Roy Keane both questioning the clinical nature of his finishing.

“To be honest I didn’t really know what to expect from my first Euros,” Hojlund wrote on his Instagram account after failing to score in four games in Germany.

“Supporting Denmark during a tournament was always one of the highlights as a Dane, playing for Denmark was indescribable.

“I was so eager, and wanted so badly to make our country proud. I texted one of my friends that I felt a bit guilty.

“It’s a weird sentimental mix, because there’s also pride.

“Obviously we wanted to bring the cup home, but the thing that will always bring me pride, both as a footballer and a Dane.”

Hojlund ended his message in Danish, with the translation reading: “We are red we are white. We stand together, side by side.”

The 21-year-old joined United from Atalanta for an initial £64million fee last August, with the deal having the potential to reach up to £72m.
