One of the players who will leave Old Trafford after this season is Swedish national university center back Viktor Lindelöf (31).

Lindelof moved from Benfica to Manchester United in 2017 and has been in the club for as many as eight years. There were many times when he was pushed back from the center back priority, but he silently played center back roles 3 and 4. He played in 284 games (four goals) this season, wearing a Manchester United uniform, including 25 games. He was at the site of winning the Carabao Cup in the 2022-2023 season and the FA Cup in the 2023-2024 season. He was also included in the replacement list in the 2024-2025 European Europa League final against Tottenham on the 22nd, but did not participate.

Lindelof, whose contract with Manchester United ended at the end of this season, naturally left the team. United manager Ruben Amorim has indicated his intention to reorganize the team to rebound next season.

Although Lindelof will not be able to remain legendary like Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, his love for Manchester United was as strong as any player.

"There's nothing better than being red," he said on his personal SNS account on the 28th. United, thank you from the bottom of my heart," he left a message.

Former Manchester United teammates Ander Herrera, David De Gea, current Manchester United center back Lenny Yoro and Diogo Dalot commented on the post with hearts.




Lindelof is attracting attention from his former team Benfica.

Meanwhile, along with Lindelof, midfielder Christian Eriksen and defender Joey Evans are leaving the team with their contracts expiring.
