Manchester United needs an in -depth playmaker before the season starts, and a recent report seems to suggest that one of Ruben Amorim’s proteges could be on its way to Old Trafford.
Manuel Ugarte was impressed by West Ham on Sunday, but the head coach needs more options now that Christian Eriksen has left and Casemiro is struggling to tackle the pace of the English game.
There were ties with Eminerson, but his asking price has so far proven that it is outside the reach of Ineos. Douglas Luiz from Juventus is available on loan, making him one of the favorites to arrive, but his injury record is worrying.
That explains why the 20-times English competition champions started looking at Morten Hjulmand from Sporting CP, someone who knows Amorim well after he has brought him from Lecce to the club.
Morten Hjulmand Race
The people person Had informed that the club from Portugal would not sell their midfield talisman for less than his release clause of € 80 million, something that the Old Trafford side could not afford.
But Transmission market have claimed that Sporting has been admitted and agreed to sell it if a club can cough up € 50 million, nothing less than that.
Juventus was also interested, but they are currently unable to pay so much and must depend on the sale of players. And the agents of the Denmark International are in dialogue with Sporting to let their customer leave for around € 30-40 million.
And United, encouraged with this development, have submitted an opening offer of € 40 million. Morten Hjulmand would make the chance to reunite with his former coach, but the ball seems to be in the Hof van Sporting.
“Douglas Luiz is increasingly distance from Juve, who have focused on the former Lecce player Morten Hjulmand, now Captain of Sporting CP, in midfield. The idea is to find a solution for Douglas, which is being chased by various Premier League clubs and then insist on the 1999-born player.
“The DANE has a release clause of € 80 million, and the Portuguese club is willing to lower it to € 50 million, but not further. That is much, too much for Juventus, who has to raise money through transfers before they make a concrete offer.
Price decrease and new offer
“The player, however, urges to leave and tries to convince the club to lower their demands by dialogue: Hjulmand’s Entourage estimates a fair appreciation of approximately € 30-40 million.
“The development of Hjulmand was also due to Ruben Amorim, who, when he was the coach of Sporting, placed him in the middle of the project. Nowadays the Portuguese in Manchester is United, who are looking for a player in that very area of the field.
“In recent days, the Red Devils have shown great interest in Hjulmand, who submit an offer of € 40 million. The player born in 1999 would go back to work in England with his former manager, but United also has to contend with Sporting’s Desire.”
The 26-year-old would be the perfect acquisition for Amorim, given his fame with the coach of the coach and his ability to play as an in-depth playmaker.
Whether Ineos have the money to subtract this operation can still be seen. It must be reminded that United also needs a striker and keeper this summer.
