Manchester United announced their first big transfer of the summer window on Saturday. The Red Devils confirmed they’d reached an agreement with Benfica for center back Victor Lindelof.
Per usual, the transfer fee wasn’t announced but reports put the fee at £31 million. The finer details of the transfer — a medical, international clearance and contract terms — will be completed in the coming days, the club said.
In Lindelof, Jose Mourinho gets an experienced defender who is still young at 22 years old. With Benfica, Lindelof won three Primeira Liga titles and was named to the UEFA Champions League “Breakthrough XI” in 2016.
