Manchester United, led by manager Ruben Amorim, are actively seeking midfield reinforcements ahead of the January 2026 transfer window. Amorim, known for his dynamic, high-pressing style, has identified midfield as a key area to strengthen in his bid to restore United’s status among the Premier League’s top clubs.
One standout target is Morten Hjulmand, a 26-year-old Danish midfielder currently playing for Sporting Lisbon. Amorim previously coached Hjulmand at Sporting, where the player played a pivotal role in a title-winning campaign, showcasing his tenacity and precise passing.
United are reportedly optimistic about securing the midfielder for around £50 million, despite his £70 million release clause, thanks to Amorim’s strong ties with Sporting.
Hjulmand’s arrival would add a versatile, tempo-controlling presence to United’s midfield, capable of shielding the defence and driving play forward. While he is a top priority, other options are also being considered to ensure the squad is well-rounded and competitive, as the club continue planning for the future.
