Man United accelerate move for €80m star but Liverpool could break their hearts | OneFootball

Manchester United are hoping to sign Morten Hjulmand from Sporting CP at the end of the season.

According to reports from Spain, they have now accelerated their efforts to sign the 26-year-old Danish international. He has consistently shown his quality in Portugal, and this is the right time for him to take the next step and move to England.

Man United keen on Morten Hjulmand

Manchester United are seeking a quality replacement for Casemiro, and they believe the 26-year-old could be ideal. He will help them control games from the deep and protect the defensive unit as well. He has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and Hjulmand could be an asset for Manchester United. He has an €80 million release clause in his contract, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can get the deal done. They are prepared to make a significant financial commitment to get the deal done.

Liverpool also eyeing Hjulmand

Liverpool are keen on the player as well, and they would be prepared to offer him an attractive salary in order to get the deal done.

The midfielder will want to compete at the highest level and fight for trophies. Both clubs could be exciting opportunities, but it remains to be seen where he ends up. The Portuguese club might need to be more reasonable about their demands for the move to go through. It seems unlikely that Manchester United or Liverpool would pay €80 million for the Danish international.

They will need to improve other areas of the squad, and they will not want to overpay on the midfielder.

Manchester United and Liverpool are pushing for Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and whoever manages to finish in the top five could have an edge in the transfer race.
