Getty ImagesTHE BIGGER PICTURE
The Denmark star is said to count Christian Eriksen as a 'mentor', and has only been with Sporting since the summer, having signed from Serie A club Lecce. The midfielder has a contract until 2028, meaning the Portuguese club are under no pressure to sell. Pellistri, by comparison, has made 14 appearances thus far this season for Erik ten Hag's side, and has also been linked with Dutch giants PSV.

Getty ImagesWHAT NEXT?
It is currently unclear if United will be willing to table an offer matching Hjulmund's release clause this month. A deal worth £69m is more likely to take place in the summer, such is the cost associated. Hjulmund is likely to be back in action when Sporting face Chaves in the Primeira Liga on Saturday.
