Victor Lindelof tells friends he’s ready to fight for Man Utd ahead of move - reports

Lindelof, 22, has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford as Jose Mourinho looks to strengthen his back line ahead of next season with a new centre-back.

The Benfica defender has starred in the Portuguese top flight over the last two seasons as he’s helped his side win two more Primeira Liga titles.

And now that the domestic season has finished, Lindelof is expected to join Manchester United in the near future.

The Sun say the Sweden international is set to join the Red Devils on Wednesday in a deal worth £35m.

And their report claims he’s already told friends in his home country that he’s looking forward to joining such a massive club and promised to fight for the team and their fans.



Apparently Lindelof will travel to Manchester after Sweden’s international game against Norway on Tuesday to undergo a medical.

The Sun quote a source as saying: ““It’s a done deal. There are some very minor things to wrap up and of course the medical.

“He hasn’t wanted to allow the move to distract him from Sweden duty but he will be flying straight to Manchester after the game in Oslo on Tuesday and then undergoing his medical.”
