Manchester United have announced the signing of Victor Lindelof from Benfica, their first signing of the summer. The 22-year-old joins a long list of Swedish players to ply their trade in the Premier League.
Lindelof’s arrival is a case of one Swede out, one Swede in at Old Trafford, as United recently released Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The 35 year-old can lay claim to being Sweden’s greatest-ever player, and he had a stellar season in the Premier League before suffering a torn ACL.
United have also had another player who could arguably be called Sweden’s best in Henrik Larsson. The legendary Swede had a three-month loan spell at Old Trafford, and Sir Alex Ferguson says not extending that loan was one of his biggest mistakes.
