Manchester United's Victor Lindelof Subject To Ambitious £35 Million Bid

Victor Lindelof is a wanted man.

The young Swedish defender was snapped up by Manchester United last summer for a believed £31 million from Benfica.

But he failed to nail down a starting defensive role. He eventually made 17 Premier League appearances in his debut campaign.

Despite Lindelof's uninspiring start to life in England, he's attracting interest from around the country.

According to reports from Mirror, Everton are planning to table an offer for the 23-year-old.

The Toffees recently appointed Marco Silva as their new manager, and he's plotting new talent ahead of next season including defensive reinforcement.

Among his desired targets is Lindelof.

It's claimed Silva is willing to fork out £35 million to acquire his services.

Silva is well aware of Lindelof's potential following his stint in Portugal's top flight. He's seen enough to want him at Goodison Park.

Mourinho currently has the likes of Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind at his disposal, while drafting in left-back Diogo Dalot from FC Porto.

As well as the 19-year-old defender, United have also signed exciting Brazilian Fred from Shaktar Donetsk.

Is Lindelof a good option for Everton? Should United sell?
