Man United back in for Benfica's Victor Lindelof, in pole position - sources

This is a modal window.

Shaka Hislop explains why it is hard to justify wanting to play for Man United right now for a reason other than money.

Manchester United remain in pole position to sign Benfica defender Victor Lindelof despite interest from other clubs, sources close to the Premier League side have told ESPN FC.

United scouts, along with representatives from Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion, were in attendance for Benfica's Taca de Portugal clash with Estoril on Wednesday.

United took in the game to cast an eye over Lindelof, 22, and the Sweden international played the full 90 minutes of the 3-3 draw.
