Victor Lindelof has welcomed Raphael Varane's arrival at Manchester United over the summer.

Varane joined the Red Devils from Real Madrid during the recent transfer window and made his debut for the club in the 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.

Lindelof's regular spot alongside Harry Maguire in the middle of the Man United defence is now under serious threat from Varane, who has seemingly been signed to play alongside the club captain.

However, the Sweden international has insisted that it is important to have "a competitive situation" at "one of the world's biggest clubs".

"It's great, I play in one of the world's biggest clubs and they have very good players. We will have a competitive situation and I only see it as positive that we have got a good player in the squad," Lindelof told FotbollDirekt.

Lindelof has made 163 appearances for the 20-time English champions since arriving from Benfica in 2017.
