Ruben Amorim and Manchester United appear to be finally getting into a groove in the Premier League, with back-to-back wins against Sunderland and Liverpool. United emerged victorious against the Reds on Sunday evening, with a Harry Maguire header the difference at Anfield.

United are said to be optimistic about landing Hjulmand for around £50 million, well below his £70 million release clause. Sporting’s amicable relationship with their former manager could prove crucial in negotiations, and there is a growing sense that this could be a move both clubs view as mutually beneficial.

Fernandes’s penalty record, Amorim’s Man Utd future and motivation against Liverpool were discussed by the Portuguese pair.
