Jose Mourinho Wins Victor Lindelof Race, Announcement Imminent

Manchester United have agreed on a deal with SL Benfica for their young defender Victor Lindelof, who they also wanted in January.

The English otufit are set to be one of the busiest clubs in the upcoming transfer window as Jose Mourinho has some huge plans for the squad at his disposal at the Old Trafford.

The Red Devils only managed to finish 6th in the points table and are far from a club that can compete for the Champions League or the domestic league title.

They did manage to win the Europe League title with this squad, that has helped them step into the Champions League for the next season but that is not enough to keep the fans happy and Mourinho is making sure that he has the right men for the right job next season.

United are set to lose some of their star attacking players this summer and the manager is busy trying to lure the best names in Europe in this position to the club this summer.

But he is also keeping an eye on his backline, that has been less than just weak this season.

Eric Bailly, the new buy at the start of the previous season, has done a superb job for the club at the back and he is expected to be the first choice next season at the back for Mourinho.

However, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones have both failed to live up to the demands and may only be a backup to the first team stars.

Mourinho is desperate to add a centre-back to his squad and has been linked with the likes of Marquinhos, Michael Keane and Raphael Varane recently.

But according to reports from Record, a reliable news outfit, Manchester United have now agreed on a deal for the services of Swedish international Victor Lindelof this summer.

The Red Devils have been monitoring his situation for quite a while now and it is now understood that Manchester United and Benfica have agreed on terms on €35m plus €5 in bonuses, to sell him to the English outfit.

The news was backed up by A Bola earlier today after they revealed that Lindelof to Manchester United is a done deal and that they are expecting an announcement anytime soon.

Do you think it is the right move for United?
