Manchester United Turn Attention to Morten Hjulmand in £50m Midfield Pursuit

 

Manchester United have set their sights on Sporting CP's Morten Hjulmand as a prime transfer target after Brighton ruled out selling Carlos Baleba this summer. The Red Devils are reportedly preparing a £50 million bid for the 25-year-old Danish international, who has emerged as a key alternative in their midfield search.

Hjulmand, a standout defensive midfielder, has impressed with his passing range, tactical awareness, and strong performances in Portugal’s Primeira Liga and European competitions. He is one of six players United are considering, alongside Angelo Stiller, Javi Guerra, Mikel Jauregizar, Lamine Camara, and Lucien Agoumé. A move to Old Trafford would rank him among United’s priciest midfield acquisitions in recent years, signaling their intent to bolster the squad with top-tier talent.
