Manchester United have been linked with a move for Morten Hjulmand from Sporting CP. 

The 26-year-old Denmark International has done quite well in Portugal, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the Premier League club as well. They need more physicality and defensive cover in the middle of the park, and Hjulmand could be the ideal acquisition.

The player has an €80 million release clause in his contract, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United are prepared to pay.

According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio on Tipsbladet, Manchester United’s move for the midfielder will depend on whether Ruben Amorim stays at the club.

The Portuguese manager is under a lot of pressure after a disappointing start to the season. There have been rumours that Manchester United could look to get rid of him. In that case, they might not pursue the 26-year-old midfielder.
