Serie A outfit consider move for Manchester United defender

Víctor Lindelof could be on the move before deadline day, despite currently nursing an injury.

The Swedish centre-back has missed the first two games of the season due to injury.

With new defensive additions added to the squad, his place in the pecking order has inevitably dropped so game time will be limited granted everyone is fit.

Last season Lindelof played 19 Premier League games for United, managing two goalscoring contributions.

In turn, it’s not hard to see why Lindelof would be deemed surplus to requirements at United.

According to reports in Italy, Lindelof has attracted interest from Serie A.

Gianluca Di Marzio claims Lazio are considering a move for Lindelof.

Lazio have until Friday’s deadline to strike a deal with United for Lindelof, who joined the club from Benfica in 2017.

Lindelof’s wife hints at departure

Maja Nilsson Lindelof, married to the United centre-back, has posted a cryptic message on Instagram suggesting her husband may be leaving Old Trafford in this transfer window.

His wife posted a photo of herself in what looks like a lift packed with suitcases and the caption beside it “nu åker vi” in Swdish, which translate to “here we go,” a term often used to announce transfers.

Lindelof has also been linked with a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce.
