Ratcliffe May Allow Key Manchester United Player to Leave for £6 Million in January

Manchester United are reportedly willing to sell defender Victor Lindelof for a low fee of around £6 million in the January transfer window. The Swedish international’s contract expires at the end of the season, prompting the club to consider cashing in before he can leave on a free transfer.

Lindelof joined United from Benfica in 2017 and has made over 250 appearances for the club. However, he has fallen down the pecking order recently under manager Erik ten Hag. Both the player and club are said to be open to a January move.

Several Premier League sides including Newcastle, West Ham and Everton are monitoring Lindelof’s situation. There is also interest from top Italian clubs like AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus.

At 30 years old, Lindelof still has plenty to offer and could be a bargain signing for teams looking to strengthen their defense. His experience and versatility make him an attractive option, especially at the reported asking price.

United appear ready to let Lindelof go as they reshape their squad under new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The club is looking to raise funds and create space for new signings that fit the vision of Ratcliffe and manager Erik ten Hag.

With the January window approaching, Lindelof’s future should become clearer soon. A cut-price move looks increasingly likely as United aim to avoid losing the defender for free in the summer.
