Hojlund is United’s leading striker, but he remains a raw No. 9 and has 18 goals in 53 appearances for the club so far.
A goalscoring centre-forward is a key pillar in the system Amorim has used at Sporting, and he has helped Victor Gyokeres develop into one of Europe’s most sought-after attackers.
The 26-year-old scored a hat-trick in Sporting’s 4-1 Champions League win against City on Tuesday night, taking his tally for the season to 23 goals in 17 games and 66 in 67 games since he moved to Lisbon from Coventry City.
Gyokeres has a €100million release clause in his contract, and since Amorim’s appointment as United’s next head coach, he has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
However, the club spent £72m on signing Hojlund from Atalanta and £35m on 23-year-old Joshua Zirkzee, who hasn’t scored since his debut in August.
