Brighton plotting shock move for United star pushed to the fringes by Amorim – report

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is reportedly on the radar of several Premier League clubs.

Ruben Amorim’s arrival has led to more opportunities for centre-backs at United due to the Portuguese tactician’s formation that sees him field three central defenders.

However, the introduction of 3-4-3 at Old Trafford has done little to improve the fortunes of Lindelof.

Amorim has handed the 30-year-old just two league starts so far. Most recently, he left him as an unused substitute in United’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

Lindelof’s situation at United has not impacted his role at Sweden, as he remains a key player under Jon Dahl Tomasson. Further, a number of clubs are looking to sign him in the summer.

According to TBR Football, Brighton & Hove Albion are keeping tabs on Lindelof and could hand him an opportunity to continue his stay in the Premier League.

The Swede’s contract at United is due to expire in June, allowing him to join a new club on a free transfer this summer.

The Seagulls face competition from Everton and West Ham United.

Early this year, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Moyes wanted to sign Lindelof in the winter window.

The ex-United manager is showing an interest in the player ahead of the summer as well.

Benfica, who sold Lindelof to United in a £40 million deal in 2017, are also considering re-signing their former talent.

United, meanwhile, are understood to be exploring the market to find a new defender. Recently, The Peoples Person covered a report saying the Red Devils see Genoa star Koni De Winter as Lindelof’s possible replacement.
