Lindelof on way to Old Trafford

MANCHESTER United have reached an agreement to sign Victor Lindelof from Benfica for 35million euros.

Having secured Champions League football by adding the Europa League to their EFL Cup and Community Shield triumphs, attention quickly turned to reinforcements.

Lindelof is now set to become Jose Mourinho's first signing of the summer after United struck a deal with Benfica - a signing it is understood will cost around £30.75million.

Lindelof has been a long-standing target at United, having flourished in recent seasons with Portuguese giants Benfica.

The Sweden international comes into a side that are set to release compatriot Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer, although the veteran striker will continue his rehabilitation from serious knee ligament damage with them.

It is also understood that Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is among those United are keen on.

While reported target Romelu Lukaku appears close to leaving Everton for former club Chelsea, links to Torino striker Andrea Belotti continue.
