3 massive January deals Manchester United missed out on

Victor Lindelof

This was a deal that was in the balance for much of January, but United weren’t able to bring Benfica defender Victor Lindelof to Old Trafford before Tuesday’s 11pm deadline.

The Swedish international has started all but one of their 19 Primeira Liga games this season, helping them to the top of division having won 14 of those matches.

Lindelof, who is an accomplished centre-back and right-back, was repeatedly linked with a move to United throughout the window, and recent reports suggest that the club held talks with Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira on deadline day about sealing a deal for the 22-year-old.

However, it looks now like United will have to wait until the summer to get their man.
