Manchester United defender Lindelof has been linked with Fenerbahce Reunion with Mourinho

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof could be set for a reunion with his former manager Jose Mourinho, with Turkish giants Fenerbahce reportedly interested in signing the 29-year-old.

Lindelof’s future at Old Trafford looks uncertain after the Swede was second choice ahead of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane, but an injury-ravaged season has seen United use him on several occasions. The former Benfica man is about to enter the final year of his contract and Manchester United are looking to strengthen their central defense this summer, potentially cashing in on Lindelof.

Fenerbahce, where Mourinho was recently appointed head coach, has shown interest in Lindelof and values ​​him at €8 million. Jose Mourinho signed Lindelof for Manchester United in 2017 from Benfica but was sacked in Lindelof’s second year at the club, but the defender has spoken highly of his former manager in the past.

While Lindelof has made over 250 appearances for United, his minutes have dwindled in recent seasons as he has fallen down the pecking order. Fenerbahce, who finished second in the Turkish Süper Lig last season, are hoping to improve their squad under Mourinho and see Lindelof as a potential leader at the heart of their defence.

On the other hand, Manchester United are considering bids for Lindelof as they target Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite. Reports also suggest Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt is in the running alongside Crystal Palace’s Guehi and Lille’s Yoro after United’s initial bid of £35m plus add-ons was rejected by Everton.
