Victor Lindelof 'Wanted to Stay at Manchester United' After Barcelona Rumours

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has said he wanted to stay at Old Trafford despite reported interest from Spanish champions Barcelona in the summer transfer window.

The Sweden international spoke to Expressen (h/t Goal's Chris Burton) about the transfer rumours and his desire to remain with the Red Devils.

"There was a lot of writing about it. But for me, I have a contract with United and I am the loyal type. For me it was never a question either, I wanted to stay in United and believe very much in what we have going on and that is also why I signed a new contract.
