Arsenal want €80m star after agent spotted at Emirates but Man United in pole position

Manchester United are interested in signing Morten Hjulmand during the summer transfer window.

The 26-year-old Denmark International has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, and Arsenal are also keen on securing his signature. However, reports claim that Manchester United is in pole position to complete the deal.

The player has an €80 million release clause in his contract, but he could be signed for a reasonable fee. According to a report from Portuguese publication A Bola, Sporting CP could sanction his departure if an offer of €40-50 million is presented.

Manchester United have made it a priority to sign a quality defensive midfielder in the summer. The Denmark International could be the ideal acquisition. He is adept with the ball at his feet and excellent at breaking up opposition attacking moves. He will add physicality and defensive steel in the middle of the park for Manchester United. Casemiro will leave the club in the summer, and he could be the ideal replacement.

Apart from his quality as a midfielder, his leadership skills could prove to be invaluable.
