According to reports, Erik ten Hag and Manchester United would not entertain any bid for Victor Lindelof this summer.
Despite interest from Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, it has been reported that the Swedish international, who started the final nine Premier League games of the season, is staying put.
Following Lisandro Martinez’s metatarsal fracture, Raphael Varane took Raphael Varane’s place at the top of the standings following his transfer from Real Madrid in 2021.
Harry Maguire, the team’s captain, might leave as a result of the Lindelof position, and United has also been connected to Kim Min-jae of Napoli.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Lindelof is actually ‘untouchable’ for United, and despite their interest, Atletico and Inter have no chance of acquiring his services.
Since joining from Benfica in 2017, the 28-year-old has made 231 appearances for the team and is regarded as an important team player.
Eintracht Frankfurt, a Bundesliga team, made the defender’s most recent move, though Romano adds that actual negotiations never begun.
Early in the season, the coach told Lindelof: “Yeah, it’s not easy to carry the Manchester United shirt, and if you wear it 200 times, it speaks something.
“So you could say Victor is a tremendously crucial member of the team. He and I had a great preseason together. His abilities as a left center-half amazed me.
He expressed his disappointment at leaving the team.
The manager, who guided United back to the Champions League and experienced victory in the League Cup, has also received praise from Lindelof.
We’ve played some great football this season because everyone knows exactly what to do on the pitch, we have a system, and everyone is aware of their roles.
“We are deserving of this Champions League position. I feel like I’ve been playing well, and when I’m on the pitch, all I want to do is support my teammates in their efforts to play well and win the game. I feel like I accomplished it, so I’m happy.
