OFFICIAL: Manchester United sign Victor Lindelof

Manchester United have completed the signing of defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica for £31m.
The Sweden international, 22, travelled to Manchester on Wednesday to discuss terms and have a medical.
Lindelof, who has won 12 caps for Sweden, was an unused substitute for Tuesday's friendly against Norway.
The centre-back had been with Benfica since 2012 and becomes United's most expensive defender, overtaking the £29.1m paid for Rio Ferdinand in 2002.
He made 47 appearances as Benfica won a Portuguese domestic league and cup double last season.
The Club made a statment on their website:
“Manchester United is delighted to announce the signing of Victor Lindelof from Benfica on a four-year contract from 1 July 2017, with an option for a further year.”
"The 22-year-old Swedish international centre-back is a versatile defender and will make his debut on the summer tour of the USA in July."
Jose Mourinho said:
"Victor is a very talented young player, who has a great future ahead of him at United. Our season last year showed us that we need options and quality to add depth to the squad and Victor is the first to join us this summer. I know that our fantastic group of players will welcome him as one of us."
Victor Lindelof said:
"I am thrilled to be joining Manchester United. I have enjoyed my time at Benfica enormously and I have learned a lot there. But I’m looking forward to playing in the Premier League at Old Trafford and for Jose Mourinho. I’m keen to get started and make my contribution to the team’s efforts to win more trophies."
