Leicester City have reportedly made an approach to sign Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof.

The 30-year-old Swedish defender has been a reliable option at Old Trafford, but with Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro pushing him further down the pecking order, his minutes have dwindled.

Leicester are struggling defensively, Lindelof brings proven Premier League experience and calmness at the back—qualities they desperately need to solidify their survival bid.

The appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy could prove pivotal; the Dutchman’s connection to Manchester United and familiarity with Lindelof might help sway the defender’s decision.

For Manchester United, this is an opportunity to cash in and reinvest elsewhere, particularly in midfield or attack, where they’ve shown inconsistency. As the Manchester giants aim for a stronger second half of the season, streamlining their squad will be key.

Lindelof, still at his peak, needs regular football. A move to Leicester ensures game time, while Leicester gain an experienced campaigner who knows the league inside out. It’s a win-win scenario and could significantly bolster the Foxes’ survival hopes.
