Manchester United will look to sign two midfielders in the 2025 summer transfer window, with Danish duo Morten Frendrup and Morten Hjulmand on their radar.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Morten Frendrup and Morten Hjulmand are the subjects of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on reinforcing their midfield unit by signing two players in the 2025 summer transfer window. The Danish midfielders have thus emerged as targets for the Premier League heavyweights with their exploits for Genoa CFC and Sporting CP.
The rise of Morten Frendrup and Morten Hjulmand
Morten Frendrup has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Serie A since joining Genoa CFC from Brondby IF in January 2022. The Dane has gone from strength to strength in the last two and a half years, turning out nearly 100 times thus far for Il Grifone while chipping in with four goals and six assists.
On the other hand, Morten Hjulmand has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world since joining Sporting CP. The 25-year-old rose in prominence during his spell in Serie A with US Lecce but has come leaps and bounds since joining Sporting CP in August 2023.
The Danish duo has captured the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe with their exploits for Genoa and Sporting CP. Several Premier League bigwigs have shown interest in Frendrup and Hjulmand, with Manchester United among their prospective suitors for the 2025 summer transfer window.
A Danish injection at Old Trafford soon?
Manchester United’s interest in Morten Frendrup and Morten Hjulmand is understandable. The Red Devils were keen on signing the latter in the summer transfer window and scouted him at UEFA Euro 2024. The Danish duo are viable targets for Manchester United amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.
The veteran midfielders will likely leave Manchester United in the 2025 summer transfer window. While Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte are long-term options for Erik ten Hag, the Dutchman needs at least two more new midfielders. So, the Red Devils want to complete two midfield signings next summer.
The Danish pair are not the only midfielders on Manchester United’s radar, with the Premier League heavyweights also setting their sights on Sverre Nypan, Richard Rios, and Chris Rigg. It will be interesting to see which two midfielders join Manchester United next summer.
