Benfica warn Manchester United top target Lindelof won't come cheap

The Red Devils may be frustrated in their pursuit of the Sweden international, but the Portuguese club have suggested he may be available for a certain fee

Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira has warned Manchester United that defender Victor Lindelof will not be sold on the cheap.

United retain an interest in the Sweden international, according to reports in Portugal, despite claims United boss Jose Mourinho was ready to delay plans to make a bid until the summer due to the form of Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones in central defence.

Benfica are certainly in no rush to sell and Vieira hinted United would have to meet the player's release clause of around €45m (£37.
