Amorim’s Man United may help Benfica by taking Sporting’s key man | OneFootball

Rúben Amorim certainly hasn't forgotten his time at Sporting. According to reports, the former Benfica player is still keeping an eye on Morten Hjulmand and hopes to count on his former captain at Manchester United. A new move is expected soon.

As reported by the newspaper A Bola, the Red Devils, already thinking about the winter market, continue to closely follow the performances of the Danish international, one of the pillars of the Alvalade club. The plan is indeed to try to sign Hjulmand in January.

The same source claims that the Old Trafford management also has a set amount to present to the Sporting structure, led by Frederico Varandas. It seems that Manchester United will try to convince the Lions to part with the Dane, in exchange for a sum equivalent to 60 million euros.

However, Rúben Amorim's team knows that to sign the number 42, they will have to overcome two difficult barriers. The first is the required amount; despite the 60M€, the Red Devils are still far from the 89M€. The second obstacle is related to the verbal agreement the player is said to have made with Sporting, which states he will not leave before the end of the season.

Thus, Manchester United faces a rather complicated task. However, it's not the only target causing headaches for Rúben Amorim. From Italy, the Old Trafford club is following the case of Kenan Yildiz, but Juventus has other plans.
