Manchester United set to sign Benfica defender Victor Lindelof in £35m deal

Manchester United will finally land Benfica defender Victor Lindelof this summer in a deal worth up to £35million, according to reports in Portugal.

Newspaper Record claim that the Sweden international will put pen to paper on a long-term contract at Old Trafford after terms between the clubs were agreed.

United will pay just over £30m up-front for Lindelof, with almost £5m in bonuses if he achieves certain targets during his time in the north-west.
