Manchester United must and will load the squad with the right reinforcements that can give the club dominance in midfield in the world’s toughest league. Casemiro is probably on his way out this summer, if he is not willing to cut his salary drastically. Kobbie Mainoo has already mentally left the club, while with Bruno Fernandes it is not good to know. In the past year, a Danish captain has been heavily linked to United, this door is now effectively closed.
Morten Hjulmand has been on Amorim’s wish list since the Portuguese left Sporting a year ago. The Sporting management held on to the Dane this summer, where Tottenham and Juventus were also active in bringing the midfield general to the club.

Ruben Amorim stated earlier in the month that they are only going for long-term solutions, if the opportunity presents itself in January, United can strike. It will not be Hjulmand. According to A Bola, Sporting have effectively closed the door on the Danish captain in the winter transfer market. They need Hjulmand in place to land the league title.
The Portuguese media adds that Sporting will open up for sale this summer, but then based on the buyout clause of a wild 80 million euros. Sorry, Amorim, you won’t get Hjulmand in January.
