Lindelof arrived in Manchester fresh from global duty with Sweden, where he was an unused substitute in last night's 1-1 draw with Norway.
Lindelof is the first of what manager Jose Mourinho hopes will be a number of new arrivals this summer as he looks to build a squad capable of competing both at home and in the Champions League.
I like to have the ball at my feet, ' Lindelof stated upon his arrival at United.
"I was in Benfica for five years so for me to leave of course it was not a tough decision but a hard decision because I was happy there and I developed a lot as a player", Lindelof told MUTV. "I'm keen to get started and make my contribution to the team's efforts to win more trophies", he added. "I know that our fantastic group of players will welcome him as one of us", he said.
Do Americans believe Trump is impeding Russian Federation investigation?
Former FBI Director James Comey testified last week that he told President Trump he was not personally under investigation.
Next season he will be battling it out with Eric Bailly, Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones for a place in Jose Mourinho's defence.
His agent said earlier this week that United had lodged a "very important offer" with the Spanish giants to try to bring him to Manchester.
Lindelof spent the majority of his youth career with hometown club Vasteras before joining Benfica in 2012.
I give my players in front of me quite a calmness knowing I'm back there trying to protect them as well as I can'.
