Jose Mourinho is renowned for setting up solid defensive systems but United have been shaky at the back since he joined the club last summer.
The Red Devils signed Eric Bailly to reinforce their back line but things have not improved as yet and in such a scenario, United are looking to further strengthen their defense.
Swedish central defender Victor Lindelof has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford for quite some time.
If the reports going on in the media are anything to go by then Manchester United are quite serious about signing the £50million star (Daily Record).
Sport Witness cite reports in the Portuguese media claiming that United have already initiated talks with Benfica over signing the 22-year-old defender.
Moreover, United officials were present to watch the Champions League game against Benfica and Napoli and the report says that they were there to specifically monitor Lindelof’s performance.
Victor made his senior debut for the Swedish national side back in March this year and since then he has featured in 11 games. This season, he has featured in 19 games for the Primeira Liga giants.
Manchester United already have central defenders like Jones, Bailly, Smalling, Blind and Rojo. Do they really need to sign another one in the winter transfer window?
