The Danish international has emerged as a target for United as they look to strengthen their midfield options this summer. Hjulmand has a £69 million release clause in his contract, and Sporting are expected to demand a figure close to that if any deal is to be struck.
United’s interest reflects their desire to add more physicality, composure, and tactical intelligence to their midfield, especially under new manager Rúben Amorim, who knows the player well. Talks are still at an early stage, but the Red Devils are monitoring the situation closely as they weigh up a formal approach.
