Manchester United are rumored to be interested in signing Morten Ulmand from Sporting CP.
The 26-year-old Denmark international has performed very well in Portugal and could be a great signing for a Premier League club. They need more physicality and defensive cover in the middle of the park and Yurmand could be the ideal signing.
The player’s contract includes a release clause of €80 million, but it remains to be seen whether Manchester United are prepared to pay that.
Manchester United to sign Morten Ulmand?
According to Tipsbladet’s Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester United’s signing of the midfielder will depend on whether Ruben Amorim remains at the club.
“In relation to United, the question is whether Amorim will be released or not. Amorim loves him and Juventus are also interested in him. Juventus needed a striker this summer and could not spend 50-60 million euros on his position,” he said.
The Portuguese coach is under huge pressure after a disappointing start to the season. There are rumors that Manchester United are considering sacking him. In that case, they may not pursue the 26-year-old midfielder.
Yulmand has played under Amorim and has praised the Manchester United manager. Therefore, it would make sense for Manchester United to move for him if he stays at the club.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the coming months.
Hjulmand could be a useful addition
Manchester United need to improve in the middle of the park if they want to do well. Manuel Ugarte is lackluster and Casemiro is in the twilight stages of his career. They need a quality defensive midfielder and the Denmark international could be the ideal player.
A move to the Premier League would be an exciting opportunity for the player. He is 26 years old and will aim to compete at the highest level. He wants to fight for big trophies and Manchester United could offer him that platform.
