Manchester United looking to hijack Hjulmand deal from Juventus
Major changes are looming in the Danish midfielder's career.
Details: According to BBC Sport, Manchester United have made an official offer to Sporting Lisbon for the transfer of 26-year-old Denmark international holding midfielder Morten Hjulmand.
The Red Devils are reported to have tabled a bid of €35 million, while the Portuguese side are unwilling to let their captain go for less than €50 million.
Negotiations between the parties are currently ongoing.
Earlier reports in the media indicated that Juventus were also seriously interested in Hjulmand, having offered €40 million, but their bid was also rejected.
