Sources: Man United given "signal" to move for 60m transfer, Arsenal have also held talks

"Manchester United have an interest in Sporting Lisbon midfielder and Arsenal transfer target Morten Hjulmand as he looks set to become available this summer. I was recently made aware of the Gunners asking Sporting about Hjulmand when the two teams met in the Champions League quarter-finals, with Ousmane Diomande and Ivan Fresneda also on the agenda. My understanding after fresh talks with sources in the industry is that Arsenal remain interested in Hjulmand, but that Man Utd are also keeping a close eye on the situation."

"It's widely known that the Red Devils are set to be busy with new midfield additions this summer, with two new faces likely to come in at Old Trafford. Hjulmand is not necessarily at the top of that list of targets, but he's a player the club have explored, and he could be available for 60m. Morten Hjulmand transfer situation explained A number of sources have confirmed to be that plenty of top clubs are keen on Hjulmand, and that Sporting seem to be open to doing business this summer for below his 80m release clause."

"Arsenal were in touch recently, Man United are also asking to be kept informed, one source said. Sporting have given clubs the signal he has a 80m release clause, but start negotiations at around 60m and there's a chance he can go. This is their model, and has been for a long time. They know this is a chance to make significant profit on the player, and he'll be keen to make the step up to a higher level as well."
