Manchester United is reportedly set to pursue Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand, who has been on their radar for some time. The club is eager to finalize a deal as early as this summer.
According to CaughtOffside, Sporting Lisbon has signaled its willingness to entertain offers for the 26-year-old defensive midfielder. This follows Manchester United’s attempts last summer to acquire Hjulmand as a potential replacement for the departing Casemiro, which were met with resistance from the Lisbon club.
In addition to Manchester United, Arsenal is also closely following Hjulmand’s situation, as the London club aims to strengthen its midfield options this summer.
This season, Hjulmand has made 43 appearances for Sporting, contributing 2 goals and 6 assists. His current contract extends until 2028, with his market value estimated by Transfermarkt at €45 million.
