Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign the Swedish international Victor Lindelof from Benfica for £30.7m (€35m). With Champions League football secured after the Europa League was added to their EFL Cup and Community Shield triumphs, attention quickly turned to reinforcements.
The centre-back is now set to become José Mourinho’s first signing of the summer after United struck a deal with the Portuguese champions.
A statement on the Premier League club’s official website read: “Manchester United is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with Benfica for the transfer of Victor Lindelof, subject to a medical examination, international clearance and personal terms.
“A further announcement will be made once the transfer is complete.”
