Man Utd to hold talks with Lindelof

Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira is expected to travel to Manchester on Monday to meet with Manchester United officials and start proceedings ahead of a transfer for defender Victor Lindelof, according to O Jogo.

Jose Mourinho has marked the centre-half as his number one target in the January transfer window and the Portuguese side are said to be willing to let him leave for around €45 million.

Lindelof, a 22-year-old Sweden international, is also able to operate from right-back and has started in 13 of Benfica's 14 Primeira Liga games, and all six of their European fixtures.
