2017-18 Premier League - Manchester United Sign Swedish International Centre-back Victor Lindelof Wednesday June 14,2017


Manchester United on Wednesday June 14,2017 completed the signing of Swedish international centre-back Victor Lindelof from Benfica for a fee believed to be £31 million (35m euros, $39.6m), the English Premier League side announced.

"I am thrilled to be joining Manchester United," said the 22-year-old after penning a four-year deal.

"I have enjoyed my time at Benfica enormously and I have learned a lot there. But I'm looking forward to playing in the Premier League at Old Trafford and for Jose Mourinho."

Lindelof joined Benfica from home-town club Vasteras SK in 2012 and won three Portuguese league titles and two Portuguese Cups during his time in Lisbon.

Lindelof is the second centre-back signed by United manager Mourinho following last year's capture of Ivory Coast international Eric Bailly from Villarreal.
