Possible transfer
United have an aging midfield duo in Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, who are no longer in their prime. Eriksen has impressed with his goal involvement this season, but does not possess the same mobility as in his peak years.
Eriksen could be allowed to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season. Casemiro's deal does not conclude until June 2026, but the club could decide to get rid of him as early as the next summer transfer window.
United are in advanced talks with Sporting Lisbon to appoint Rubén Amorín as their next manager. If the Portuguese arrives at Old Trafford, the club's chances of landing Hjulmand could increase.
The Dane was a relatively unknown player during his time at Lecce, but Amorim transformed him into an elite midfielder. The 25-year-old was promoted as the new captain of Sporting Lisbon following the departure of Sebastián Coates.
Hjulmand is magnificent with the ball at his feet and tends to win most of his duels. He has also impressed with his tackling, recoveries and high pressing. He is in the best phase of his playing career.
There is a termination clause in the region of £67 million in his contract, but there could be scope to negotiate a smaller transfer package if the midfielder decides to leave the Portuguese champions in the future.
