Man Utd target Lindelof happy at Benfica

Victor Lindelof is in no hurry to leave Benfica, according to his agent.

The 22-year-old Swedish defender is a key target for Manchester United but his representative Hasan Cetinakaya says he has no plans to walk away from Estadio da Luz anytime soon.

"There are many speculations regarding Lindelof's future but he plays in one of the best European clubs already," Cetinakaya told A Bola.

"There are many clubs interested in what Benfica are doing, but we are on very good terms with the president and we'll decide Lindelof's future together with the club.

"There are many clubs interested in signing Lindelof too, but he's happy at Benfica at the moment and doesn't want to leave."

Recent reports suggest that United are plotting a January bid for Lindelof but it appears as though it will take something extraordinary to lure him away from Benfica.
