Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Cherki ‘makes decision' over future, swap planned for Osimhen, Betis in talks for Antony
Lindelof to Barcelona? Victor Lindelof is eyeing a return to Benfica when his Manchester United contract expires this summer. The Swedish defender spent five years on the books of the Portuguese club before earning a £31 million move to Old Trafford in summer 2017. Lindelof is endured an injury ravaged season and has yet to start a Premier League game for the Red Devils. And his campaign took a turn for the worse on Sunday when he missed his penalty as holders United crashed out of the FA Cup to Fulham in a shoot-out. West Ham were one of the clubs who showed an interest in taking him on loan in January – but he looks likely to move as a free agent in the summer. United have not held discussions with Lindelof - who has spent 79 days out injured this season - over an extension to his current deal.

David de Gea responds as another Man Utd exit confirmed in touching tribute
Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea responded after the announcement that Victor Lindelof will be leaving Old Trafford at the end of the season Victor Lindelof bid an emotional farewell to Manchester United as his departure from Old Trafford was officially announced this weekend. The Swedish defender joined from Benfica in 2017 in a £30m deal during Jose Mourinho's tenure, aiming to strengthen the team's back line. Throughout various managerial changes, Lindelof has been a mainstay for the Red Devils, clocking up 284 appearances. This season saw his role within the first team reduced, with only 16 Premier League outings. Nevertheless, Lindelof enjoyed a full game on Sunday, helping United to seal a season-ending victory against Aston Villa. Following the match, United's social media channels paid tribute to Lindelof, who also took to his own account to express his gratitude. "There's nothing on earth like being a Red," he shared. "Manchester, thank you from the bottom of my heart." The post quickly drew responses, including a love heart emoji from his ex-teammate David de Gea. Christian Eriksen, who is set to leave at the season's close, alongside Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez, sent their well wishes to Lindelof as well. Amid the heartfelt day, Maja Lindelof documented the couple's last matchday on Instagram, expressing her appreciation for the club. "We grew up here," she reflected. "Thank you for all the love. The best years of my life." Following the reveal of a farewell gift that United presented for her children, she expressed heartfelt gratitude, remarking: "The people behind the scenes at this club, not sure what we would do without them all these years." Lindelof, Christian Eriksen and Jonny Evans are all leaving on free transfers this summer at the end of their contracts. But Matheus Cunha is on his way, after United agreed to trigger the £62.5million release clause in his Wolves contract. United have agreed to pay Wolves in three instalments, of £20.8m, as stipulated in his deal at Molineux, having initially asked to spread the cost across five payments and additional years.
