Manchester United recent performances, particularly their defeat against Brentford where they conceded 31 shots have highlighted their midfield weaknesses with Scott McTominay poor display raising concerns. With Christian Eriksen and Casemiro possibly leaving, United are in search of a suitable midfield partner for Kobbie Mainoo.

Reports suggest they are competing with Barcelona for Sporting CP Morten Hjulmand who could provide the defensive stability needed alongside Mainoo. Despite Casemiro credentials, Hjulmand is seen as a potential upgrade due to his impressive passing accuracy, defensive contributions and ability to evade opponents.

This suggests United may need to make changes to improve their midfield dynamics with Hjulmand emerging as a promising option.
