Victor Lindelof: Man Utd signing discusses Jose Mourinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The Sweden international became Manchester United’s first summer signing this afternoon as Jose Mourinho snapped up the defender for an initial £30.8million fee.
Lindelof has put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the option of a further year.
Having spent nearly five years with the Portuguese champions, Lindelof admits it was difficult making a decision to switch to Old Trafford.
“I’d been at Benfica for nearly five years, so for me to leave was of course not a tough decision but a hard decision,” he told United’s website.
“I was happy there as I developed a lot as a player but when the opportunity came, it was very easy for me to pick it.
“United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and always want to win titles. That’s also my goal.
