Report: Man United identify 50m alternative if they cannot seal 120m signing
Briefly

Manchester United has shown interest in Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder Morten Hjulmand as a cost-effective option compared to Carlos Baleba, whose value could reach 120m. Hjulmand may only cost around 50m. Baleba, being younger and experienced in the Premier League, commands a higher market value. Hjulmand's previous connection with coach Ruben Amorim suggests he could fit well into the team's tactics. United's past financial expenditures indicate they may be reluctant to meet Baleba's asking price, making Hjulmand a viable alternative as other clubs like Juventus have also scouted him.
Manchester United have identified Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder Morten Hjulmand as a possible cheaper alternative to Carlos Baleba, whose asking price is as high as 120m.
Hjulmand could cost around 50m, making him a more realistic option for Manchester United compared to Baleba's steep price. Hjulmand is a fine player known to Ruben Amorim.
United's financial outlay this summer on signings such as Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo indicates that spending 120m for Baleba may be challenging.
With previous links to Hjulmand by CaughtOffside and interest from Juventus, he remains an option worth exploring for Manchester United.
