Manchester United are optimistic they can secure a deal to sign Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand, according to TEAMtalk. The Denmark international, 26, is loved by manager Ruben Amorim, who coached him in Portugal before making the switch to Old Trafford. While Hjulmand has an €80 million release clause in his contract, the Red Devils believe it may be negotiable given the relationship between Amorim and his former employer. Other names on United's midfield wishlist include Borussia Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham and Porto's Victor Froholdt.
