Victor Lindelof of Benfica has been on Jose Mourinho’s radar for a while now, and it looks like United are on the verge of signing the Primeira Liga player.
Victor Lindelof, Swedish, 22, Currently Plays for Benfica. Transfer Value: £40m.
Victor Lindelof has been associated with a move to Manchester United since the summer. It now looks like the club may be looking to seal the deal by next week.
The Swedish international has been in inspired form all season and has been essential for Benfica in their rise to the top of the Primeira Liga table. It appeared that United’s interest in Lindelof had cooled off earlier this month as Mourinho was fairly impressed with his current defenders- Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones.
However, Portuguese newspaper A Bola claim that the deal is back on. Reports say that the imminent transfer is why Lindelof was left out of Benfica’s cup clash with FC Pacos De Ferreira on December 29. It is also rumoured that Mourinho appears to be scanning the markets for a strong centre back with Eric Bailly off to the Africa Cup of Nations to carry out his national responsibilities.
Jose Mourinho, for the longest time, has been known to be a manager that believes in excellent squad depth and rock-solid defence. A signing like Lindelof only reassures the United fanbase that the Portuguese will maintain his championship winning ways at Old Trafford as well.
Victor Lindelof has shown great promise with his tenure at Benfica attracting attention from big clubs from all the elite leagues in the world. At just 22 years of age, Lindelof can only improve his game with a lot many years ahead of him. The £40 million price tag might seem a little too steep at first but shortly after witnessing Lindelof at work, it almost sounds like a bargain.
Lindelof has received glowing recommendations from none other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has had international experience with the Benfica youngster. The £40 million price tag also makes him the most expensive defender for the club of all time. The hype surrounding the Swedish defender is very real and United fans are excited at the arrival of Victor Lindelof in Old Trafford.

Mourinho has always had an eye for picking players of the highest orders and a maximum number of his supposed “gambles” have paid off in the highest order. Perhaps David Lindelof could be another testament to Jose Mourinho’s exceptional eye for talent and his ability to set up a team.
