Victor Lindelof has become the latest Manchester United player to commit his future to the club by signing a five-year deal.

The Sweden international has agreed a contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2024, with the option of a further 12 months.

Lindelof follows David de Gea, who signed a four-year deal on Monday.

He is the latest in a wave of contract renewals over the past nine months, which also includes Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay and Phil Jones.

Lindelof said: “Since the day I arrived at United it has felt like home. I have grown significantly both as a player and as a person in the last two years and for that I am grateful to everyone at the club for their help and support.

“I love playing football and my aim now is to help the team to win trophies and repay the fans for their unrivalled support.

“I know that everyone at the club shares this vision and will give everything to get Manchester United back to where it belongs.

“I’m still young and know I can improve further but with the help of the boss and his coaching staff, I believe that only good things are ahead for this great club.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjær added: “Victor has established himself here and has become a very important part of our team. He brings calmness on the pitch and I can see that he is determined to help this club and to be successful here.

“I’m extremely happy that he has committed his future to Manchester United. We’re all looking forward to working together to deliver the success and get United back to where we know the club belongs.”
