Man United send scouts to watch £69m Sporting CP midfielder who is open for premier league move

Representatives from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have been to Europe to observe Morten Hjulmand’s performances.

According to Record via SportWitness, Hjulmand made his debut on the biggest stage of European football when he struck a late equalizer for the Danes against England and attracted the attention of United and Spurs.

This season, in the Portuguese city, the Sporting CP midfielder made an impression by leading the team to the league title.

United has already expressed interest in the Danish midfielder, and if he keeps up his current level of play, that interest will only increase.

It is likely that, if Spurs and United are to turn their interest into a serious bid for the services of Hjulmand, a significant fee will be required to prise the midfielder away from Sporting.

The Red Devils were previously quoted £69m ($87m) as the fee necessary to sign Hjulmand, and that figure will only rise should he keep impressing for the Danes in Germany.

Spurs and United may be less keen to find that their transfer target is boyhood fan of their rivals, Arsenal. Hjulmand has not hidden his love for the Gunners in the past and even has a tattoo of the club’s crest on his arm.

Hjulmand will play for Denmark in their final group stage game of the tournament against Serbia on Tuesday. After two draws against England and Slovenia, the Danes may need a win to secure passage into the knockout stages
