Victor Lindelof's loyalty remains with Manchester United
Victor Lindelof was arguably Manchester United's best defender in the 2018-19 season which was easily one of the worst seasons from a defensive point of view in the club's recent history. While Manchester United fans have been counting on the Swede to take his game to the next level in the upcoming season, he has also been linked with Barcelona.
