Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford, with his playing time significantly reduced under manager Erik ten Hag.
The Swedish international has found himself behind the likes of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane in the pecking order, leading to speculation that he may seek a move away from the club. Despite having a year left on his contract, Lindelof’s chances of regular first-team football appear slim.
Former United player Wes Brown believes that Lindelof may choose to leave the club at the end of the season, especially if he continues to be overlooked for selection. Brown suggested that Lindelof’s frustration with his lack of playing time could lead him to seek a new challenge elsewhere.
The arrival of new signing Leny Yoro, once he recovers from injury, could further complicate Lindelof’s situation. With competition for places intensifying, it remains to be seen whether Lindelof will be able to secure a consistent role in ten Hag’s plans.
If Lindelof does decide to leave United, it would mark the end of a six-year spell at the club. He joined United from Benfica in 2017 and has made over 200 appearances for the Red Devils.Victor Lindelof’s situation at Manchester United highlights the increasing competition for places in the defense, especially with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane ahead of him in the pecking order. If Lindelof seeks a move, it could provide an opportunity for both him and the club to explore new directions. His potential exit would close a chapter on a six-year stint at Old Trafford, during which he was a reliable presence despite fluctuating form and competition.
