Kristensen was promoted to the first team squad in the summer 2016 at the age of 18. He signed af five-year professional contract.[4]

At the age of 18, Kristensen got his official debut for FCM on 7 March 2016, in a Superliga match against FC Nordsjælland.[5] He started on the bench, but replaced Václav Kadlec in the 39th minute in a match, which FCM lost 1–2. He turned into a key player for the team in the 2016–17 season.

Ajax

International career

In November 2020, he was called up to Kasper Hjulmand's senior squad due to several cancellations from, among others, the Danish national team players playing in England, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, as well as a case of COVID-19 in the squad, which had put several national team players in quarantine.[11]

He made his debut for the Denmark national football team on 4 September 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against the Faroe Islands, a 1–0 away victory. He started the game and was substituted at half-time.[12]
