'I'm good at them' - Lindelof offers to take free-kicks for Man Utd

The Sweden international defender has completed a big-money transfer to Old Trafford and is already plotting how to make his mark under Jose Mourinho

Victor Lindelof believes his ability from set-pieces could help him to start repaying Manchester United’s €35 million investment in his talent.

The Sweden international has completed a big-money move from Benfica to become Jose Mourinho’s first signing of the 2017 summer transfer window.

He has been acquired to further bolster the defensive ranks at Old Trafford, with the 22-year-old considered to be a shrewd acquisition for the present and future.

Lindelof is about much more than merely keeping opponents quiet, though, and already has his eye on free-kick duty – having shown at Benfica that he is capable of producing the spectacular.
