On May 25, 2025, according to the Daily Mail, Swedish central defender Victor Lindelof has completed a meeting with Manchester United management and reached an agreement to decide that both sides will not renew the contract. The defender who has played for the Red Devils for 8 years will leave the team as a free agent after the end of this season.

Lindelof became the third player to confirm leaving Manchester United this summer after Eriksson and Joni Evans. It is reported that his next stop is likely to be Serie A or La Liga. Many giants, including Juventus, have expressed interest, but Lindelof has not made a final decision so far.

Mr. United's career, which opened high and closed low, Lindelof joined Manchester United from Benfica for 35 million euros in 2017. He was highly expected at the time, but his career never met fans' expectations. In the past season, he has suffered from injuries and has only started nine times in various competitions, with a significant reduction in playing time.

During his eight years at Manchester United, Lindelof played in a total of 283 games for the team, winning a FA Cup and a League Cup with the team. Both honors were won during the coaching period of Tenhager.

At present, Manchester United has prepared personnel adjustments in the central defender position, and young central defenders Lenny Yoro and Arden Haven will become important parts of the future defense line.

Manchester United's roster cleaning list is expanded this summer

In addition to Lindelof, Erikson and Evans, the club also plans to clean up several stars who do not conform to the tactical system, including: Rashford, Sancho, and Garnacho.

What is even more surprising is that captain Bruno Fernandez may also transfer and leave the team. Saudi club Riyadh Crescent has allegedly offered a nearly £100 million offer for the Portuguese international, which will be one of the biggest deals this summer.
