Hjulmand, who is teammates with Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund, may be ready to move on from the Portuguese club.
Per Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã, Amorim hopes his club will resist any bids.
Hjulmand has also been publicly admired by ex-Sporting and current United star Bruno Fernandes.
He admitted in an interview that the praise was pleasing, but will be aware that he has a high €80 million release clause in his contract.
