Man Utd Reject Lyon's Approach for Defender as Search for Reinforcements Continues
Manchester United have rejected an approach for defender Victor Lindelöf from Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais, according to reports in France.
The 24-year-old centre back only moved to Old Trafford last season in a deal believed to be in excess of £30m, following former Benfica teammate Ederson to the Premier League after the Brazil international goalkeeper joined rivals Manchester City.
Lyon were hopeful that Lindelöf could be lured away from England this summer either as part of a loan deal or a permanent transfer. However, L'Equipe via the Sun claim United have rejected the transfer while they continue their search for a new defender.
