Manchester United has made Victor Lindelof the team's first offseason signing, bringing in the Sweden center back from Benfica for 35 million euros ($39.4 million).
Sweden worldwide Muamer Tankovic has admitted to being shocked by Ray Wilkins' comments on Manchester United's imminent signing of Victor Lindelof from Benfica.
There is no shortage of defensive bodies at Old Trafford so adding to the squad is not as important as improving it. Eric Bailly and Lindelof will be the first choice duo.
"I did not know them in detail, but I can say that they were one of the best centre-back duos I've faced in the a year ago".
Lindelof added: "I am thrilled to be joining Manchester United". "I think Victor is doing great things, he is playing good for Benfica, he gets a lot of responsibility for the national team now, he is growing".
Lindelof's first game in a Manchester United shirt will likely be the season opener against West Ham at Old Trafford on the weekend of August 12/13.
The Red Devils have confirmed the £30 million (R487 million) signing of Sweden worldwide Victor Lindelof from Benfica. I see myself as a central defender. A success rate of 89.9% was also higher than United centre-backs and with Mourinho demanding his defenders to play the ball out from the back, it's clear Lindelof has what is required to help transition between defence and attack.

Twelve are confirmed dead, but the death toll is expected to rise. "We got a call when the fire started", Habib said. Other witnesses described a white, polystyrene-type material falling like snow from the building as it burned.
Lindelof was spotted arriving at Carrington this morning and the formalities have been completed as United confirmed on their official website this evening that the defender has joined on an initial four-year contract.
"I think that everyone can easily have their opinions, but he goes too far when he says he has not accomplished anything".
Who is Manchester United's new man?
"My position is a centre-back, but I've played right-back before and I started my footballing career as a midfielder".
"Competition is always good".
"He's a good man manager, he's like that with all the players". "When you have that, you get better as well.".
The England pair both saw their bravery and commitment to the cause called into question by Mourinho as they struggled with injuries in the second half of last season.
