Is Hjulmand reunion on cards for Amorim?
- Published
There has been a lot of talk about Manchester United's interest in Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba – and just as much around Brighton's insistence the 21-year-old is not for sale.
Whether a deal happens or not, the fact United have not moved to quell the discussion suggests the interest is genuine and that, despite the assurances he is happy with his squad, head coach Ruben Amorim knows there is a flaw that needs addressing.
And if they are keen on Baleba, do United have a back-up option?
They have been linked with Sporting skipper Morten Hjulmand, someone Amorim knows very well from their time working together in Portugal.
Someone I have spoken to with an understanding of Hjulmand's situation believes the 26-year-old Denmark midfielder will move this summer.
United do need to start selling players but I am guessing that if they exhaust their inquiries for Baleba, their sights may turn to Lisbon.
