The 22-year-old now has to agree personal terms and pass a medical but United are optimistic of making him their first major signing of the close season. "Manchester United is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with Benfica for the transfer of Victor Lindelof, subject to a medical examination, international clearance and personal terms," said a statement on the club's website (www.manutd.com). "A further announcement will be made once the transfer is complete." That all changed less than 24 hours later as Manchester United announced his signing. Lindelof is a superb reader of the game, strong in the tackle and well able to pass the ball when he wins possession.
