Manchester United defender, Victor Lindelof is reportedly attracting interest from Newcastle United and Everton ahead of the January transfer window.
In the summer of 2017, Manchester United paid £31 million to acquire Lindelof from Benfica.
Over the years, the Swede has featured in 267 games for the Red Devils and has put up some outstanding displays.
But at Old Trafford, Lindelof has slipped in the hierarchy. It is anticipated that he will be moved on after only 294 minutes of football action across all competitions this season.

The 30-year-old will be available on a free transfer in the summer, but CaughtOffside suggest that both United and Lindelof himself are open to a move away in January.
According to TBR Football, Italian teams AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Lazio, and Fiorentina are also monitoring Lindelof’s situation. While Premier League sides Newcastle United, West Ham, and Everton all want him to continue in England.
The Red Devils are expected to ask between £5.8 million and £6.6 million for Lindelof when the winter window opens. It’s unclear if clubs would be willing to spend that amount if they could sign him for nothing six months later.
Although there was no transfer at the time, reports surfaced in the summer that Everton manager Sean Dyche is a fan of Lindelof.
After 16 games, the Magpies are presently ranked 12th in the Premier League standings. Everton, who have only won three of their first 15 games, are four spots behind them.
