Henrik Larsson has backed Benfica defender Victor Lindelof to become one of the best defenders in the world, but only if he joins Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.
The Swedish centre-back has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks with the Red Devils believed to be keen on a deal worth £38million.
As the two clubs continue to hammer out terms on a January transfer, Larsson has spoken of his belief that the young defender is more than ready for the Premier League, saying he can become one of the world's best under Mourinho.
