Rui Borges assures that, even when out of form, Morten Hjulmand remains very important in Sporting's squad.

Morten Hjulmand has been linked with a move in January, heading to Manchester United. In the preview of the Sporting - Marseille match, Rui Borges denied having issues with the team and assured that the captain of the lions "is always important", even when out of form.

"Fortunately, we have no ruptures. Last year we had some muscle tears," responded the Sporting coach, denying any possible conflicts between the players of the green and white squad and the technical team.

Regarding Hjulmand, Rui Borges was direct: "He won't always be at his peak, but he is always important. He is in line with what we want. He is a leader. He is an important player in the Club and for us coaches as well. I am focused on the game against Marseille."

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