The agent of Victor Lindelof has sparked speculation that the Benfica star could move to Manchester United in January after admitting some of the biggest clubs in Europe are after his signature.

The Sweden defender is reportedly a target of the Old Trafford side and the 22-year-old's representative has done nothing the play down the rumours.
Hasan Cetinkaya claimed there are many clubs interested, but would not reveal their names.
“I don’t want to comment on various clubs but there is concrete interest from some of the biggest in Europe,” Cetinkaya told Swedish newspaper Fotbollskanalen.
“He really enjoys it at Benfica. At the same time, as I have said before, there is no smoke without fire when it comes to that.
“Many clubs are interested in him, but Victor is focused on Benfica.”
Lindelof's countryman Zlatan Ibrahimovic said earlier this month that the 22-year-old would not be out of place at United.
“I think Victor is doing great things, he is playing good for Benfica, he gets a lot of responsibility for the national team now, he is growing,” Ibrahimovic said.
“Is he good enough for United? I think he’s good enough for the big clubs out there. It’s up to him what he wants and what the situation says. Whatever he chooses will be good for him.
“I know he is hot on the market so let him make the right choice, what fits him good.”
