Personal terms agreed: A red hot Midfielder wanted by Arsenal have agreed personal terms on a 4yr deal to join Man United – Date fixed to complete deal imminently – He will be Ten Hag second signing
In recent months, Morten Hjulmand has frequently been associated with a potential move to Manchester United. His impressive performance, capped by a goal against England in the European Championship, has intensified these rumors. Moreover, there is growing speculation about a possible transfer for Gonçalo Inácio.
According to the Portuguese newspaper A Bola, any club interested in acquiring the Danish midfielder will need to meet Sporting CP’s asking price of €80 million, as stated in his release clause. Hjulmand is considered one of the club’s indispensable players, and Sporting is not inclined to enter negotiations with Manchester United or any other club regarding his departure.
Hjulmand joined Sporting last season from Lecce in a €19.5 million deal, and his contributions over the past year have demonstrated his value. His role in Sporting’s domestic title campaign and his recent performances in Euro 2024 have cemented his reputation. Interest in him has been reported by English media, suggesting Manchester United’s pursuit, and by Spanish media, indicating Barcelona’s interest.
Sporting has significant plans for Hjulmand in the upcoming season, seeing him as a potential future captain due to his leadership qualities. Another Manchester United target, Gonçalo Inácio, is also on the club’s radar. A Bola reports that the Red Devils are preparing to make a move for Inácio, who has a release clause set at €60 million.
It remains to be seen how much Manchester United, under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, is willing to invest in Sporting CP’s players during this transfer window.
