Separation is sealed’ – Player on way out of Manchester United and could get fortunate move

Victor Lindelöf’s time at Manchester United appears to be drawing to a close, with Inter Milan positioning themselves as a likely destination for the Swedish defender. Having endured a difficult season marked by injuries, he has made just five Premier League appearances and has struggled to secure a place in Erik ten Hag’s plans. Though he has recently returned to the bench, his contract is set to expire this summer, making his future at Old Trafford increasingly uncertain.

Reports suggest that Inter Milan are seriously considering him as they seek defensive reinforcements without breaking the bank. With Lindelöf set to become a free agent, he presents a more financially viable option compared to alternatives like Jaka Bijol and Sam Beukema. While he may not perfectly fit the age criteria typically favored by Inter’s management, his experience and availability on a free transfer make him an appealing prospect. Speculation is growing that his representatives could push for a move to the reigning Serie A champions, offering him a fresh opportunity at the highest level.

Lindelöf’s potential departure would mark the end of a mixed spell at United since his arrival in 2017. Despite flashes of brilliance, he has frequently found himself on the fringes, particularly under Ten Hag, with competition from Lisandro Martínez and Raphael Varane limiting his game time. A switch to Serie A could provide him with the stability and regular playing time he craves while allowing him to reestablish himself at a top club.

This situation also brings into question Manchester United’s defensive depth, as losing Lindelöf could leave them short on experienced options should injuries arise. Whether the club chooses to reinvest in their backline or place faith in emerging talents remains to be seen, but for Lindelöf, a move to Italy could be the fresh start he needs.
