Manchester United on lookout for alternative to Victor Lindelöf

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost faith in Victor Lindelöf and wants another first-choice centre-back to partner Harry Maguire at Manchester United.

Maguire and Lindelöf have formed a partnership at the heart of United’s defence this season, but they have struggled to inspire confidence.

Having cost £70m from Leicester last summer, Maguire’s place is safe.

The Mirror reports that United boss Solskjaer is keeping his eyes open for another reliable defender, despite having described Lindelöf as a “leader” earlier in this campaign.

The Sweden international was signed by then United boss Jose Mourinho from Benfica for an initial fee of €35m in June 2017.

ESPN has reported that Old Trafford chiefs have made contact with Real Valladolid about Mohammed Salisu.

The 21-year-old defender only made his league debut for the Spanish side last August.
