An athletic midfielder has been on Manchester United’s agenda all summer, and Carlos Baleba was not the only target considered. But he has been at the top of the list, so there will be some internal debate now about whether to pivot to another No 6.There is an appreciation for Morten Hjulmand, the 26-year-old Danish international who captains Sporting CP, Amorim’s old team. The pair had a strong relationship.Adam Wharton is another who could come into the reckoning. But #MUFC will carefully weigh up whether to spend more money at a time when they need to make sales. Baleba presented a special opportunity, and making a move for a midfielder is not guaranteed.More from @mjcritchley
