Hello just posting that I have found a solution for this using
<?php
$menu_name="main-menu";
$menuitems = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu_name);
foreach ($menuitems as $item ) {
$active_link = ( $item->object_id == get_queried_object_id() ) ? 'current' : '';
if (!$active_link) {
echo '<a class="dn dib-ns poppins f7 white hover-gold ml3 ml4-l header-navigation__link-item" href="'.$item->url.'">'.$item->title.'</a>';
} else {
echo '<a class="dn dib-ns poppins f7 white ml3 ml4-l header-navigation__link-item active" href="'.$item->url.'">'.$item->title.'</a>';
}
}
?>
