Arsenal and Manchester United are ready to compete for Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand at the end of the season, as per Caught Offside.

The Gunners are expected to part ways with Jorginho and Thomas Partey when their contracts expire on June 30.

Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi has been tipped to join them in recent weeks, but that is not a guaranteed thing.

Zubimendi is still contemplating his next option and he could yet make a surprise move to Real Madrid this summer.

In that case, the Gunners need a contingency plan and reports claim that they are keen on landing Hjulmand from Sporting CP.

The club are set to face competition from United for the Denmark international, who could be signed for £60m.

Hjulmand has a close relationship with manager Ruben Amorim from their time in Portugal. A reunion could be on.

United may need to qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League to challenge the Gunners.
