Man Utd are likely to face competition from Arsenal for Sporting Lisbon captain Morten Hjulmand, according to reports.
Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha claim that the two Premier League clubs are set to “duel” for the Denmark international’s signature.
Hjulmand does have a €80m (£70m) release clause in his contract, but the player is said to have a gentleman’s agreement in place so he can leave for a lower price.
The midfielder wanted to move at the start of the season, but Sporting managed to persuade him to stay for one more year on the condition that they would sell him for just €40m (£35m).
What do fans need to know about Hjulmand?
The 26-year-old has been at Sporting since the start of the 2023/24 season, having been purchased from Lecce in a deal worth up to €21m.
After just one year with the Portuguese champions, then head coach Ruben Amorim handed Hjulmand the captain’s armband.
During his time with Sporting, the Dane has won two Liga Portugal titles and the Portuguese Cup.
This campaign has been less successful, with his club expected to finish second, while Hjulmand himself is currently on the treatment table with an ankle injury.
Man Utd are looking for more than one midfielder
Hjulmand is not thought to be one of United’s top midfield targets for the summer transfer window, but the Red Devils need more depth in that area of the pitch.
While a sizeable sum may be splashed out on someone like Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali, or Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni, an offer for a low-cost midfielder could be made as well.
Considering Hjulmand is on the market for a discounted price, it seems he may be an option under consideration.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
