Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign Victor Lindelof from Benfica for 35million euros.
Lindelof is now set to become Jose Mourinho’s first signing of the summer after United struck a deal with Benfica – a signing in the region of £30 million.
A statement on the Premier League club’s official website read: “Manchester United is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with Benfica for the transfer of Victor Lindelof, subject to a medical examination, international clearance and personal terms.
“A further announcement will be made once the transfer is complete.”
Here, we look at how some United fans reacted to the news on Twitter. Let’s just say, they’re enthusiastic about the new arrival.

L'Pool were about to pay double the price of Lindelof for half the player then ended up apologising. No words to describe their banter club.

So we've basically spent £60m-£65m on a solid partnership of Bailly and Lindelof, whilst other clubs spend £50m on one centre-back. #MUFC
