The Swede looks set to become the Red Devils' first signing ahead of 2017-18, and United could hardly have made a more positive statement
Assuming he passes a medical and agrees personal terms, Victor Lindelof is about to become Manchester United’s first signing of the summer. They could hardly have made a more positive statement to begin their transfer assault.
While much of the chat surrounding United so far has centred around attacking talents such as Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata, Andrea Belotti and James Rodriguez, the addition of a quality young centre-half is exactly the kind of message Jose Mourinho and the board needed to send.
