Victor Lindelof signs Manchester United shirt

Benfica defender Victor Lindelof fuels suggestions that he will join Manchester United next month after signing the English club's shirt for a supporter.

Benfica defender Victor Lindelof has fuelled suggestions that he will join Manchester United next month after signing the English club's shirt in his Swedish hometown on Friday afternoon.

It has been widely claimed that Man United have agreed a £38m deal for the Benfica defender, who will move to Old Trafford during the January transfer window.

On Wednesday, Man United boss Jose Mourinho was coy on the reported interest, although it is understood that the centre-back has already said his goodbyes to teammates at his Portuguese club.

Suggestions that Lindelof is indeed on his way to Manchester have strengthened after the Swede happily posed with a Man United supporter in a picture on social media.

Lindelof joined Benfica from Vasteras SK in 2012 and initially represented the Portuguese side's B team, before stepping into the first-team picture in 2015. Last summer, the Sweden international extended his contract until the summer of 2020.
