Eintracht Frankfurt want to sign defender Victor Lindelof from Man United

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

According to the Frankfurter Rundschau, Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in the 30-year-old Swedish international and are keeping a close eye on him for a possible transfer.

Frankfurt are looking to strengthen their defence this summer, especially after approving the departure of Willian Pacho to Paris Saint-Germain. The report claims that Frankfurt are willing to spend a substantial amount on a defender and Lindelof is on their radar.

The Swedish international is not a key player for Manchester United and needs to leave to play regularly. A move to the Bundesliga could be an exciting opportunity for him at this stage of his career.

The 30-year-old defender played 28 games in all competitions last season, but most of those were as substitutes. He needs to have a starting role and the Bundesliga club could offer him that platform. In the meantime, Manchester United can cash in on the player and also invest the proceeds in the squad.

Victor Lindelof must leave Man United

The Swedish international has no future at Manchester United and it would be ideal if both parties went their separate ways. It will be interesting to see if the German club follow up their interest with an official offer to sign the defender in the remaining days of the transfer window.

Manchester United have already strengthened their defence this summer with the arrival of Matthijs De Ligt, Leny Yoro and Noussair Mazraoui.

Lindelof has fallen further down the pecking order and must attempt to secure a move away from the club before the summer transfer window closes. The 30-year-old cannot afford to sit on the bench at Old Trafford this season.
