One of Manchester United's longest-serving players - Victor Lindelof - is set to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season, according to reports.
According to The Times, Lindelof will leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires.
The 30-year-old central defender has not held talks with Man United about extending his stay at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho signed the Sweden international from Benfica for €35m in 2017. In total, he has made 270 appearances for the Red Devils, but has dropped down the pecking order in recent seasons.
Lindelof is currently fourth choice centre-back at Man United, behind Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt, and Lenny Yoro.
However, he would arguably be the sixth-choice centre-back if Lisandro Martinez and Johnny Evans were not injured.
Lindelof has only made six appearances in the Premier League this season, appearing for a mere 60 minutes of action.
He was injured for two months of the season, but has become a fringe player under head coach Ruben Amorim.
Of Man United's current squad, only Luke Shaw, who joined the Red Devils in 2014, has been with the club for longer.
Benfica are said to be interested in re-signing Lindelof at the end of the season.
Evans and Christian Eriksen could also leave Man United at the end of the campaign when their current contracts expire.
