'Ice Man' Lindelof is highly regarded as he prepares to join Manchester United

So what are Manchester United getting in 22-year-old central defender, Victor Lindelof? The Swedish international will sign for a €35 million fee from Benfica, subject to personal terms being agreed and a successful medical in Manchester this week. Lindelof is expected to play for his country in a friendly against Norway in Oslo on Tuesday night.

Among his teammates and staff at Benfica, he is known as "Ice Man" for never showing any sign of feeling pressure. He's been at the Lisbon club since 2012 but only fully established himself as a first teamer in early 2016, before winning the league and cup double and playing over 4,000 minutes in 47 games in the season that just ended.
