Victor Lindelof is set to leave Manchester United after eight seasons as the Swedish defender’s contract expires this summer

After eight seasons and over 280 appearances, it looks like Victor Lindelof is gearing up to say goodbye to Manchester United.

The Swedish defender, who joined from Benfica back in 2017 for a hefty £31 million, has been a steady presence at Old Trafford — winning trophies like the FA Cup and League Cup along the way.

But as this season wraps up, all signs point to Lindelof moving on once his contract runs out this summer.

A Rollercoaster Ride at Old Trafford

Lindelof’s time at United has had its highs and lows.

He’s celebrated some silverware, but also faced tough heartbreaks, like losing two Europa League finals.

Lately, though, the spotlight hasn’t been on him as much.

The past few seasons haven’t been kind, especially this one — an injury-plagued campaign meant he only started five Premier League games in 2024-25.

With stiff competition and a changing squad, it’s no surprise he’s slipped down the pecking order.

The Final Decision and What Comes Next

According to insider Fabrizio Romano, a recent meeting between Lindelof and the club confirmed that the defender won’t be renewing his contract.

Instead, he’ll leave United as a free agent this summer.

Already, clubs from Spain and Italy have shown interest in bringing the 30-year-old on board, so it looks like Lindelof’s next chapter will take him abroad.

What This Means for Manchester United

Lindelof’s departure marks the end of an era for a player who’s been a consistent figure in the backline for almost a decade.

United will now have to look elsewhere to fill the void and reinforce their defense as they continue to rebuild.
