Victor Lindelof’s journey at Manchester United has been a topsy turvy one.
Having joined the club from Benfica in 2017 for a fee of around £31 million, Victor Lindelof was viewed as a promising talent.
Over the years, the Swedish defender grew into a reliable figure in the heart of United’s defense, partnering with the likes of Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane.
While his form has occasionally been questioned, Lindelof has remained a steady presence, earning praise for his composure and aerial ability.
However, with each season, competition for a starting spot has intensified, and Lindelof’s position at the club has become less secure, especially with recent arrivals and tactical shifts.
Despite spending a significant portion of his career at Old Trafford, Lindelof now finds himself in a position of uncertainty.
The 30-year-old is out of contract at the end of the current season, and United is undergoing a major squad overhaul under new manager Ruben Amorim.
Amidst all the changes, Victor Lindelof admitted that talks about his future are inevitable, and he plans to engage in discussions with those involved.
“I’m very comfortable at United,” Lindelof commented, as per the PA News Agency.
“I’ve been there for a long time and it’s the world’s best league.
“I’ll have to talk to everyone involved going forward.”
However, the defender’s future at the club is far from assured.
Reports have surfaced indicating that Benfica, the club where Lindelof developed as a player, is keen on re-signing him.

The Portuguese giants are reportedly interested in bringing him back to replace Nicolas Otamendi, who remains a key figure at the age of 37.
Lindelof has expressed his fondness for Benfica, admitting that the club holds a special place in his heart.
“Benfica as a club means a lot to me,” Lindelof said.
“It’s the club that made me the player I am today.
“I don’t know what will happen and what my decision will be.
“But it’s a club that means a lot to me and a club that I like.
“I don’t only have myself to think about.
“It’s a decision we have to make together as a family.”
Lindelof has found himself relegated to a more peripheral role at United this season, making just two Premier League starts so far.
The signing of Matthijs de Ligt, alongside younger talents like Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven, has only made his situation more precarious.
With United also reportedly targeting Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite to bolster their defense, it seems increasingly likely that Lindelof could be moving on come summer.
While the future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Lindelof’s next decision will be a crucial one for his career.
