"According to TEAMtalk, Hjulmand is absolutely loved by Amorim and there is some confidence at Man Utd that he could be signed for just 50m. The report explains that Hjulmand has a release clause worth 70m, but it seems United feel optimistic that they can get the Denmark international for less than that. If so, that would be very good news indeed for United as they urgently need to strengthen in midfield."
"Hjulmand makes sense as a top target for MUFC right now as it looks like Amorim badly needs better options than Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte in that area of the pitch. Casemiro is ageing and past his best, so surely can't be relied on for too much longer, while Ugarte simply hasn't settled or had the impact that many would have hoped for since he joined last season."
Manchester United are pursuing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Morten Hjulmand as a midfield reinforcement. Ruben Amorim highly rates Hjulmand, who previously played under him at Sporting, making a reunion at Old Trafford likely. Hjulmand has a €70m release clause, but United believe a deal around €50m could be possible, which would address urgent midfield needs. Casemiro is aging and Manuel Ugarte has struggled to settle, leaving United short of reliable options. The 26-year-old could provide a dependable defensive midfield presence and adapt quickly to Amorim's tactical demands. Other midfield targets mentioned include Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba.
