Manchester United have announced the signing of Swedish defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica on a four-year deal.
The 22-year-old placed the finishing touches on the move at United’s training ground this afternoon and has joined for a fee widely reported to be £30.75million, a club record for a defender.
United boss Jose Mourinho told the club's official website: "Victor is a very talented young player, who has a great future ahead of him at United.
"Our season last year showed us that we need options and quality to add depth to the squad and Victor is the first to join us this summer.
"I know that our fantastic group of players will welcome him as one of us."
Lindelof added: "I am thrilled to be joining Manchester United.
"I have enjoyed my time at Benfica enormously and I have learned a lot there. But I'm looking forward to playing in the Premier League at Old Trafford and for Jose Mourinho.
"I'm keen to get started and make my contribution to the team's efforts to win more trophies."
