Manchester United's Victor Lindelof addresses Saudi Arabia exit rumours
The 29-year-old's future has been the subject of intense speculation for some time, as he has failed to become a consistent starter for head coach Erik ten Hag since the Dutchman's arrival.

Should a long-term renewal with Lindelof's camp not be agreed, Man United would be expected to entertain offers for the centre-back this summer lest they run the risk of losing him for nothing next year.
Lindelof is currently away with the Sweden squad preparing for their upcoming international friendlies with Portugal and Albania, and he was quizzed on whether he could be tempted to join the Saudi Pro League revolution by Fotbollskanalen.

Maybe I don't really feel like I'm there in my career, that I want to get down to moving away. I feel that I want to stay in Europe and play football at that level.»
Despite playing down links with a switch to Saudi Arabia, Lindelof's comments offers hope to European-based suitors, and he is believed to be on a couple of teams' shortlists ahead of the summer window.
