Ruben Amorim determined to lure Hjulmand

MU 's start to the 2025/26 Premier League season has been quite disappointing, so Ruben Amorim is looking to add personnel in midfield.

British press reported that the Portuguese strategist focused on the target Morten Hjulmand - who was very successful with him during his time leading Sporting Lisbon.

In a 3-4-2-1 system, Ruben Amorim wanted Hjulmand to play as a central midfielder alongside Bruno Fernandes. The Dane would be more of a playmaker, while the captain would focus on attacking.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is backing Ruben Amorim. As such, he is looking to drop Kobbie Mainoo to make room for Hjulmand .

Chelsea want to take Mainoo

Not only Alejandro Garnacho, Chelsea also has plans to bring Kobbie Mainoo from Old Trafford to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have long been chasing Mainoo. Now the Blues have turned their attention to the England midfielder after he was left on the bench by Ruben Amorim.

Coach Enzo Maresca wants depth in his squad for big ambitions, and chairman Todd Boehly is ready to deliver thanks to the recent trophies brought to Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham are also competing with Chelsea for Mainoo, with around 10 clubs across Europe reportedly keen on the 20-year-old.

Gallagher did not fit the tactics deployed by coach Diego Simeone, making him a redundant player at Atletico Madrid.

There were quite a few clubs interested in bringing Gallagher back to the Premier League, including MU. However, according to expert Fabrizio Romano, only Crystal Palace officially entered negotiations.

Atletico started the season in a worrying state (1 point after 2 rounds). Simeone wanted to welcome Nico Gonzalez from Juventus, so he opened the door for Gallagher to go to Crystal Palace.
