Manchester United have signposted Sporting captain Morten Hjulmand as a potential midfield reinforcement after their chase to secure the signature of Carlos Baleba ended last week. The Athletic reports that United manager Ruben Amorim has a strong relationship with the player from their time together in Portugal.
