Hjulmand has impressed across Europe for his combination of defensive work and intelligent passing. He operates confidently both defensively and centrally, while his leadership at Sporting stands out.
The midfielder “has reportedly given the green light to leave if a convincing offer emerges,” though Sporting are reluctant to sell below his €80 million release clause [Fichajes reports].
Juventus are reportedly exploring the deal, while “Tottenham also appears among the possible candidates” [Fichajes reports]. His connection with United coach Rúben Amorim, formed in Lisbon, could accelerate talks.

Fichajes notes Premier League adaptation remains a concern: “Talent isn’t enough: you have to establish yourself without losing performance.”
United fans see Hjulmand as a potential long-term midfield anchor, offering experience and leadership the club has lacked in recent seasons.
