Victor Lindelöf | Officially signs

fecking terrible. Run by investment bankers.
I was under the impression the Portuguese press only bullshitted though??
Never watched him play a single minute of football, but I can confirm that he'll be one of the best centre backs in the league.
Jokes aside, I'm excited to see how he'll do. Heard a lot of Swedes raving about him.

Imagine. On paper we would look so strong defensively for the foreseeable future.
Well a broken clock is right twice a day, and they've been right once in what, 5 years?
I wonder if people actually watched United sometimes. Rojo is terrible at left back.
De Gea - 26
Bailly - 23
Lindelof - 22
Pogba - 24
Morata (assuming he comes) - 24
Rashford - 19
that's a core that's pretty young. and then there's:
Jones- 25
Lingard - 24
Martial - 21
Pereira - 21
Shaw - 21
Tuanzebe - 19
Mensah - 19
Gomes - 16
hell, some of our "experienced" players are relatively young too:
Herrera - 27
Mkhitaryan - 28
Rojo - 27
Smalling - 27
these guys must feel like fossils these days:
Carrick - 35
Valencia - 31
Bailly - 23
Lindelof - 22
Pogba - 24
Morata (assuming he comes) - 24
Rashford - 19

Doesn't matter if some think he's bad at LB. What ultimately matters is how Jose views him and more importantly if he trusts him to do the job.
We'll find out eventually this summer if a LB is brought in.
He hasn't signed yet we have just agreed terms.
Very unlike Mourinho. He normally signs established veterans/players very much in their peak. 28-30~ year old range.
Sounds like the type of signing we need, having not seen a lot of him. Hope he stays clear of injuries
hmmm, somehow I can not put Sweeds and word rave in same sentence.
sorry, slow day, have we singed second player yet?
It will be 2-2! Another draw. yuk. Do we get extra poins for singing 2 players in same day?
I will go now...
Of course it's concerning, by any chance do you think Mourinho is planning to play 3 at the back? Bailey, Lindelof, Rojo, lindelof is used to being a ball playing defender so he fits the system. Just a thought!
When he was at Real Carvalho on a free and Essien; Adebayor on loan were his only older signings(he might not have been completely responsible for their transfers). Ozil, Di Maria, Khedira, Varane, Coentrao, etc were pretty young.
@Sly who is he like? I got a Carvalho look about him? Admittedly from YouTube videos. Obviously Carvalho had incredible positional sense etc. Something thats very difficut to pick up from highlighs.
Please tell me I'm right, cause if he is - we could have a serious player on our hands.

Awesome! Hopefully he can be the ball playing companion to Bailly.
So they were, I stand corrected.
Though, the average age of the squad was a bit older than ours currently - they also had Casillas, Pepe, Kaka, Ronaldo, Arbeloa and Alonso. All of those ranged from 27-30.
I like that he has arm tattoos, gives him character and is fitting for a Swede CB.
Excellent! Much rather we got a LB than Keane.
But Rojo plays as a lb in argentina, and with world cup looming he could get minutes as a lb this season.
Delighted with this transfer, and very happy to see another swede in United! Looking forward seeing him play with Bailly and Rojo.
This signing smells victorious. I'm really glad that he's ours.
Is he not on Twitter?
Nice to see this transfer finally going through. United has been interested for a while but complications between his old Swedish club Västerås and Benfica was one of the reasons the transfer wasn't made in January.
I think he will be a great partner to Bailly and hopefully they will be a great pairing for a long time.

It's hard for me to compare him to Carvalho. He's up there with Pepe as the best ever in our football history. What i can tell is that our pundits compared him alot of times with Varane.
He will be soon, marketing demands it!
Thank you. I'm not going to argue haha. Varane is good enough for me!
You can get some Lindelof social media from his gf's Instagram. She's named Maja or something like that
Finally!
One down, back to the Morata thread.

Cool. I rate him, hope he's able to take the next step. Mourinho is great at coaching defenders so I'm hopeful.
BTW, his name is pronounced Lindeleuv, not Lindeloff

And that is telling of Mourinho because...? Actually, the signings during Mourinho's term at Inter were of a wide age range too. This "Mourinho only signs established experienced players" is closer to myth than fact.
Can someone give a round up of what he's like? Haven't really seen this guy play.
Never ever seen him play or had heard of him till rumours started. I'll make an informed decision (personal opinion) once I've seen him play a few minutes.
I don't really see him as fighting for a spot in the first team next season, my guess he's more of a prospect. Which, considering Tuanzebe, it's a bit awkward. I was thinking Mourinho was going for a experienced almost overqualified center-back, like Bonucci or Marquinhos.
If Mou thinks Rojo's a bad LB he isn't going to play him at LB just because he wants some practice before the WC.
