VIDEO: New Man Utd signing Lindelof scores beautiful free-kick goal

The defender netted a beautiful goal from a dead-ball situation earlier this season in Portugal, which should give United fans a taste of his ability

Centre-backs are supposed to head home free-kicks, not score directly from them, but that is exactly what new Manchester United signing Victor Lindelof did in April.

The Red Devils announced the 22-year-old defender had agreed to join the club from Benfica on Saturday for a reported fee around €35 million.

The expectations will be for Lindelof to step in and help fortify Jose Mourinho’s defence, but his strike in Portugal may give fans loftier dreams.
