Man United Interest in Hjulmand Hinges on Amorim’s Future, Di Marzio Reports
Sporting are expected to insist on a reported €80m clause as Juventus keep tabs on the Denmark midfielder.
Overview
- United have been linked with a January move for Morten Hjulmand but, per Gianluca Di Marzio speaking to Tipsbladet, any pursuit is contingent on Ruben Amorim staying in charge.
- Di Marzio also notes Juventus’ interest and says they passed on spending €50–60m on that role in the summer due to striker needs.
- No formal bid has been reported, with recent coverage contrasting United’s discussed €60m range with the player’s reported €80m release clause.
- Hjulmand is a 26-year-old Denmark international signed by Sporting from Lecce in 2023, and he has made about 65 appearances under Amorim with six goals and five assists.
- Reports frame Hjulmand as a potential solution to United’s midfield balance as Manuel Ugarte has underwhelmed and Casemiro is nearing the latter stages of his career.
