First choice goalkeeper and captain Kim Christensen was sold to IFK Göteborg on 13 March 2008. Theis F. Rasmussen was then brought in on a free, leaving speculation on who would be first choice to replace the departed Christensen. It was expected that Rasmussen was to be ahead of Hansen in selection, as was a common occurrence in the national youth team, though Hansen went go on to be first choice and Rasmussen failed to make a single league appearance during his two-season stay with F.C. Nordsjælland.
