Amorim drops Sporting regular, Rui Borges breathes a sigh of relief | OneFootball

Morten Hjulmand is not on the list of the most desired players by Ruben Amorim to strengthen Manchester United's midfield in January. The Sporting midfielder seems to have ceased to be a priority for the former coach of the green and white emblem.

Nevertheless, according to the 'Mirror', the coach is still searching for a new midfielder who fits the desired profile, and the name of Sporting's captain - who was praised by Thomas Gravesen - is not on the latest list.

The future of Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo remains uncertain. In this sense, the coach is in the market looking for a notable reinforcement, but any of the new acquisitions will require a significant financial investment in the winter transfer market.

It should be remembered that, in the summer transfer market of 2025, Juventus wanted to sign Morten Hjulmand. However, the offers that reached Sporting did not exceed 30/40 million euros, which Frederico Varandas considered significantly short for the quality of the Danish international.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Morten Hjulmand – valued at 50 million euros – participated in 17 matches: 11 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In the 1,540 minutes he was on the field, the captain of the lions scored two goals and made one assist.
