The summer transfer window slams shut at 11pm this evening, with teams across Europe making last minute moves for players to add to their respective squads.
Manchester United could yet be busy in the final hours of the market with potential outgoings on the cards.
Swedish defender Victor Lindelöf is one player United are willing to let go given the additions of Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt in his position.
However, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the immediate future of the centre-half which could see him stay at Old Trafford.
Speaking on his Daily Briefing Podcast, Romano says United are in no rush to move the player on before the end of the month.
“There’s a lot of noise in the media at the moment about Victor Lindelöf, but it’s always been quiet,” he said.
“Nothing is happening with Turkish or Italian clubs, and United are not desperate to sell the player as Ten Hag still appreciates him and he’s very calm. No movements so far.”
Should Lindelöf remain in Manchester, it’s highly unlikely he will be featuring too often in Erik ten Hag’s first team barring injuries.
Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire are above him in the pecking order as well as the two aforementioned new additions.
A fresh start for the 30-year-old looked like the best option for all parties but with just hours left in the window and no concrete offers, the Swede might just end up seeing out his contract at the club.
His current deal runs until the summer of 2025, meaning he will be free to leave for nothing next year.
Lindelöf could then be in line for a bumper contract at his new club given the fact there will be no fee involved, which may form part of his thinking for staying put this term.
