Quality Middle
United has added a lot of quality in the last 3rd this campaign. Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko are big upgrades and the Red Devils should place in the mix for Champions League football next season.
Adding a selection framework for defending midfielder is the next priority for the Mancunian giants. Baleba would be an exceptional signature. He has similar properties such as Moises Caicedo and would offer much needed control and defensive stability from the center of the park.
However, the substantial asking price could encourage United to explore alternative solutions and Hjulmand could be targeted, since he is known to Amorim’s tactics from their time together in Sporting Lisbon. He was promoted as the captain after just 1 season.
The DANE completed 91% of his passes In the last campaign of Primeira League while he wins more than 60% duels. He also made 6 recovery and 2 tackles per outing and pulled the eye with his tireless working speed and high prints from the heart of midfield.
Hjulmand would seamlessly fit into Amorim’s plans. The 26-year-old is in the excellent phase of his career and would be a top acquisition. United could turn to its services if they cannot find a solution with Brighton for Baleba in the coming days.
