Manchester United new boy Victor Linedlof has joined the club for one thing - silverware.
The centre-back completed his £30m switch from Benfica to United on Wednesday night - as he signed a four-year contract.
And 22-year-old Lindelof has eyed up United's trophy haul from last season, where they lifted the Community Shield, EFL Cup and Europa League, and fancies boosting his own silverware cabinet.
Lindelof said: "I am thrilled to be joining Manchester United.

"I have enjoyed my time at Benfica enormously and I have learned a lot there. But I’m looking forward to playing in the Premier League at Old Trafford and for Jose Mourinho.
"I’m keen to get started and make my contribution to the team’s efforts to win more trophies."
United boss Jose Mourinho is excited to improve his back line and plans to make a defensive dynasty out of Lindelof and Eric Bailly.

Jose Mourinho said: "Victor is a very talented young player, who has a great future ahead of him at United. Our season last year showed us that we need options and quality to add depth to the squad and Victor is the first to join us this summer.
"I know that our fantastic group of players will welcome him as one of us."
