Victor Lindelof

Sell

From one defender who should stay to another that should leave.

Victor Lindelof has been a good servant for Manchester United.

Brought into the club by Jose Mourinho, he’s played under a number of different numbers and there have never been any complaints about him.

However, in that time, Lindelof has never shown himself to be the kind of defender who will take United back to the top of English football.

With the likes of Varane, Maguire, Martinez, Evans and even Luke Shaw ahead of him in the central defender pecking order, surely it’s time for Lindelof to be sold by the club.

United made a mistake in not selling Eric Bailly when he was still at the peak of his powers and ended up letting the defender leave for nothing. They shouldn’t do the same here with Lindelof.

Clubs in Europe would be interested in taking Lindelof and United may be able to get £15m-£20m for the Swedish international.

We suggest to take the money and invest it into a young and top quality defender.
