While key transfer target Antoine Griezmann appears to be staying at Atletico Madrid, Manchester United are certainly making an early start in the transfer market summer. Just days after Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata was all but confirmed as United’s first signing of the summer, a second big name has been announced.

The United website has confirmed the club has agreed a deal to sign Benfica defender Victor Lindelof, subject to a medical examination, international clearance and personal terms. No further details were offered. The BBC report however that United will pay a £30 million fee for the Swedish 22 year old.
Jose Mourinho’s team is shaping up nicely for next year, it seems.
