Jensen was born in Hillerød, Denmark, he began his youth career at Hillerød GI before going on to F.C. Nordsjælland where he has played since he was 13 years old, signing his first contract with the club at age 16. He would later go on trial with Celtic, but decided against a move to the Scottish club stating that though moving to a large foreign club would be a dream move, moving at 16 years of age was too young and that staying at FCN would be better for his development.
