Tottenham and Manchester United have had representatives in Frankfurt this week as interest in midfielder Morten Hjulmand builds.
That’s according to Record, who say the player’s performances for Denmark are earning him more attention after a ‘fairy-tale’ first season at Sporting Club de Portugal.
The midfielder has been enjoying an excellent year to date, winning the title in Portugal before heading to Germany for Euro 2024 with Denmark, where he has been one of their outstanding players.
His superb strike in the 1-1 draw with England put him in the spotlight and earned him plenty of attention, particularly as the majority of his suitors seem to come from the Premier League.
The two club shave ‘long followed him’ and identified him as a potential target this summer and the fact he was a star man against England would not have gone unnoticed.
Unfortunately for both of them, he’s turned a blind eye and ear to the growing interest and made it clear that he wants to remain in Portugal for at least another year. Sporting have also promised manager Ruben Amorim that the midfielder won’t be sold.
It’s up to Tottenham and Manchester United to convince both parties to sway from that plan, and it remains to be seen if their scouts were convinced enough by his performance against England to now present one to their Portuguese counterparts.
