Man Utd star involved in 'furious dressing room bust-up' may be sold in January despite 'new contract plan'

Man Utd star involved in 'furious dressing room bust-up' may be sold in January despite 'new contract plan'

He could be on his way out the door.

Victor Lindelof may be sold in the January transfer window despite the club looking to tie the Sweden international down to a new contract, a fresh report has claimed.

Lindelof joined United from Benfica in 2017 and two years later, signed a contract extension at Old Trafford.

Yet, in the past two seasons, under the management of Erik ten Hag, the 29-year-old has slipped behind Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in the centre-back pecking order.

Nevertheless, despite limited game time, the Star claim United have the option to extend the player’s contract by a further year and intend to do just that.

However, rather than use it as a precursor for a longer stay, United are merely looking to recoup a healthier fee for Lindelof in the January or summer window, with the player having been linked with a move away.

The publication claims that United believe they could recoup a fee in the region of £15million for Lindelof, which would be a significant decrease on the £30million United spent on the centre-back during Jose Mourinho’s reign as manager.

Lindelof has been linked to a move to Italian trio Inter, Juventus and AC Milan in the past.

Amid a defensive injury crisis this season, the Swede has made seven Premier League appearances for United.

Among his most notable moments however was an alleged dressing room bust-up, which is said to have taken place in the wake of United’s 3-1 loss to Brighton.

The Sun claimed that after the Old Trafford defeat, Bruno Fernandes is said to have laid into midfield colleague Scott Mctominay.

Meanwhile, Martinez allegedly had a bust-up with centre-back Lindelof.
