According to the British press, MU on the list of three midfielders to kick with Bruno Fernandes next season. Coach Ruben Amorim prioritizes reuniting with the old Morten Hjulmand than Ederson (Atalanta) and Douglas Luiz (Juventus).
Coach Ruben Amorim is rushing to deploy a plan to rebuild MU midfield before the 2025/26 season opened. His top goal is none other than the old student at Sporting Lison, Morten Hjulmand.
According to reputable sources, the Danish midfielder is the “number one choice” of the Portuguese strategist to form a pair of cards coinciding with captain Bruno Fernandes in the middle of MU in the next season.
Initially, Man Utd had an eye on Joao Palhinha, but the midfielder suddenly joined Tottenham on loan from Bayern Munich forced Amorim to turn to other options.
In addition to the top priority, Morten Hjulmand, Man United also outlined two other quality backup options, both from Serie A. The first name is atalanta's Ederson. The Brazilian player played very stable at Atalanta in recent seasons and was valued at about 70 million euros.
This is a goal that is not cheap but the class has been proven. The second choice is Douglas Luiz, who is considered “redundant” at Juventus. Compared to Ederson, Luiz's price will definitely be cheaper.
“Old Lady” is ready to let the former Aston Villa star leave if you receive 45 million euros, a more reasonable number for an experienced player. However, the familiarity and tactical understanding that Amorim has with Hjulmand is his biggest advantage compared to Luiz and Ederson.
Amorim believes that the 26 -year -old midfielder's ability to regulate and intercept is missing to completely liberate Bruno Fernandes. Although Hjulmand has a contract release of up to 60 million euros and is also interested in Juventus, but MU with the advantage of Amorim, they can completely overcome to win this star.
