Manchester United are keeping tabs on Eintracht Frankfurt’s 20 year old sensation Hugo Larsson.
The Red Devils are looking to recruit in the midfield department as it appears Christian Eriksen and Casemiro do not have a future at the club beyond the summer.
This has resulted in reports that Amorim wants to sign two players in the centre of the park to create a team with greater intensity than seen under Erik ten Hag.
Sky Sports Germany report that the Red Devils are paying close attention to Hugo Larsson at Frankfurt as one potential option for the summer window.
The young Swede’s fantastic progress is being “monitored” by “Real Madrid, Manchester United and many more European top clubs”.
Larsson has been on the radar of top clubs for some time as “Real was even interested in him before the transfer from Malmø to Frankfurt” and “he was discussed at Dortmund and Leipzig as well in 2023.”
The Scandinavian is protected by a long term contract until 2029 but crucially he is not considered “unsaleable” by the German side.
He would not come cheap though as it is reported that “Frankfurt would demand at least €50m” for their starlet.

Larsson has been in fine form this season, scoring four goals and providing one assist in 19 games for the Bundesliga club.
The youngster is certainly an intriguing prospect in the midfield as he has been described as “a formidable force in the attacking phase.”
“His combination of strength, technical prowess, and exceptional ball control makes him incredibly difficult to dispose of.”
Interestingly, his qualities also demonstrate that he could be “an ideal candidate for a double-pivot partnership, especially alongside a robust defensive midfielder”, which could hypothetically make him a perfect partner for Manuel Ugarte under Ruben Amorim.
