Victor Lindelof to Manchester United: Defender arrives at Carrington, medical today

The defender is set to sign for United today following the club’s announcement at the weekend they had agreed a fee with Benfica.

Lindelof will cost United £31million, with Jose Mourinho having chased the 22-year-old for some time.

And his switch is expected to be confirmed today after he and his agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, drove in to Carrington this morning in a red Chevrolet Corvette.

Sweden star Lindelof flew over from Norway, having been an unused substitute in their 1-1 friendly last night.

He is now set to undergo the formalities in Manchester with a medical and a contract to be penned.

On Lindelof’s move to United, Sweden team-mate and Sunderland midfielder Sebastian Larsson said: “He can play anywhere and is an incredibly good footballer.

“It’s not about the league when you play in such a big team, it doesn’t matter.

“He has played in the Champions League and against France [for the national team].

“The rules are the same, so it will be the same.”

Lindelof is likely to be followed by the signing of Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.

A medical is also being planned for him this week, with Mourinho bolstering his squad quickly ahead of next season.

The centre-half’s arrival though is bad news for Chris Smalling.

Express Sport understands Manchester United are now willing to sell the England international for £12million.
