Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United finalized its decision on Victor Lindelof's future after a key meeting this week between the club's hierarchy and the player, concluding his eight-year tenure at Old Trafford. Though a regular in the squad for several seasons, Lindelof has seen limited playing time recently. In the 2024–25 season, he made just five starts in the Premier League, largely due to recurring injuries and increased squad competition.

Now available as a free agent, Lindelof has drawn strong interest from clubs in Spain and Italy. While his next destination is undecided, speculation points to a potential return to his former club Benfica.

Lindelof departs United with 283 appearances across all competitions. His time at the club included successes like winning the FA Cup and EFL Cup, but also setbacks, including defeats in two Europa League finals.

This exit is seen as the start of a major squad overhaul under manager Ruben Amorim following a difficult season. Players such as Christian Eriksen and Jonny Evans, whose contracts expire soon, are also expected to leave. United is open to offers for others like Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford, who have underperformed. As United faces Aston Villa this Sunday in their final match, Lindelof is set to bid farewell to the Old Trafford fans.
