During the heated derby, 21-year-old Rasmus Højlund reacted fiercely to Kyle Walker’s challenge, immediately sprinting to confront the England defender. The two went head-to-head, literally, with Højlund glaring in disbelief as Walker dramatically fell to the ground, clutching his face despite minimal contact.
The incident sparked chaos, with Harry Maguire furiously confronting Walker, only to be separated by Erling Haaland.
Roy Keane, watching the replay at half-time, was less than impressed by Walker’s theatrics. As Sky Sports humorously included Keane’s reaction in a split-screen, the United legend vented: “Look at this. I don’t know the guy, and I’m embarrassed for him. It’s embarrassing.”
Both players were shown yellow cards by referee Anthony Taylor, but Højlund had the last laugh. United secured a dramatic win, thanks to Amad Diallo’s late heroics.
Højlund wasted no time after the final whistle, taking to Instagram to share a picture of their clash, openly calling out Walker’s play-acting. Fans loved his boldness, with many praising him for his fiery passion and clever trolling.

Alongside the post, Højlund added a cheeky poem:”Manchester is red.Violets are blue.What a brilliant performance.But the Oscar goes to…”
Unsurprisingly, United fans went wild over it.
One wrote: “Rasmus Højlund has just absolutely rinsed Kyle Walker.”
Another commented: “I already loved Rasmus. Adore the guy now!”
A third added: “I’m guessing Rasmus Højlund runs his own social media pages, and I hope that never changes. What a man.”
Manchester is red. Violets are blue. What a brilliant performance. But the Oscar goes to…

One fan commented: “Rasmus Højlund has absolutely destroyed Kyle Walker with that caption.”
United boss Ruben Amorim put his faith in Højlund and Amad Diallo for his first Manchester derby, opting to DROP Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from the matchday squad.
Amorim hinted that his decision was based on both training and match performances, while sending a clear message about the high standards he expects from his players.
He explained:“We evaluate everything—training performance, game performance, engagement with team-mates, pushing their team-mates forward. Everything is considered when we analyse and choose players.
“It’s my selection. Simple.
“I don’t want to send a message; it’s purely evaluation, and the players understand that. They’re really smart.
“Everyone gets my decision, but I have to choose—it’s as simple as that.
“Of course, the context is challenging. We need to win games, and we’re in a difficult situation right now.
“I pay attention to everything—how you eat, how you dress for a game, everything. I make my evaluations and decide accordingly.”
