Ruben Amorim’s fondness for Sporting star makes headlines in England | OneFootball

Despite Frederico Varandas refusing to sell Morten Hjulmand in January, Manchester United does not give up on the Sporting midfielder. Ruben Amorim is considered a possible 'talisman' in a potential deal, with the Red Devils insisting on the Dane.

According to information advanced by TEAMtalk, Morten Hjulmand is "absolutely loved" by Ruben Amorim, who coached him at Sporting throughout the 2023/34 season and almost half of the following season before moving to Manchester United.

The same source reiterates that Manchester United believes it is possible to convince Frederico Varandas to release Hjulmand for 50 million euros, despite the player's release clause in his Sporting contract pointing to 80 million.

The good relationship between Hjulmand and Ruben Amorim is considered a crucial element of the deal, as the British portal points to a strong belief from the former Sporting coach in being able to convince the 'number 42' of the lions to move to Old Trafford.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Morten Hjulmand - valued at 50 million euros - participated in 12 matches. The captain of the green and whites was a starter in all the games played by the lions, having scored one goal in 1,090 minutes of play.
