Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with Galatasaray reportedly interested.
The Sweden international has been a key player during parts of his time at the club, but reportedly isn’t part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s future plans.

United’s defence could look very different next season, and it’s reported Sir Jim Ratcliffe is targeting a top centre back this summer.
The Red Devils have been linked with a move for Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite, who scored against rivals Liverpool on Wednesday evening.
