So far, Manchester United’s summer transfer business has been committed to offensive signatures.
Manager Ruben Amorim has managed to sign Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo so far this summer as he aims to rebuild the team after a bad season in 2024/25.
The problems facing Old Trafford are well documented and they need to add a competitive team to multiple positions.
Now that they have sorted out part of their offense and creativity, they turn their attention to signing new midfielders.
Manchester United needs depth and quality of the midfield
Christian Eriksen’s departure and Casemiro’s decline form made it clear that they will step into the market for a new midfielder to enter the market, and they have done that.
According to a report by CalciomerCato, Manchester United is taking action in the transfer market as they hope to strengthen the midfield before the new season, and one of their main goals is Sport CP’s Danish executor Morten Hjulmand.
The Premier League giant has reportedly proposed a formal bid to secure the service of the 26-year-old, who has been one of the most stable performers in Portuguese football in the past two seasons.
Since the arrival of LECCE, Hjulmand has been a key gear in Sporting’s midfield setting, developing into a reliable deep midfielder.
He played a key role in helping the sports compete at the domestic and European levels, and his performance did not draw attention.
Red Devils fell into sports undervalued
United are actively reshaping the game, and it is believed that Manchester United has offered Danish International a price of about £34 million. However, Sporting CP reportedly has a figure of nearly £43 million and the release clause is priced at around £69 million, but Portugal’s clothing is not in a hurry to sell unless their estimates are worth it.
It is understood that the Red Devils still want to reach a deal because the player himself is considered open to the idea of moving to the Premier League.
Unlike flashy organizers or boxed engines, Hjulmand is a master of position discipline, excelling in breaking opponent attacks, retaining possession and effectively distributing the ball.
United see Hjulmand as a player who can provide direct impact and long-term value due to Casemiro’s future at Old Trafford and concerns about the depth of the squad.
