Manchester United are reportedly ready to double Victor Lindelof’s wages with a new contract for the Sweden international.
The centre back reportedly attracted interest from Barcelona over the summer after an impressive 2018-19 campaign and began the new Premier League season in good form during his side’s 4-0 win over Chelsea.

Manchester United now want to hand the centre back a lucrative extension to his contract, according to the Express.

Lindelof’s wages are set to increase from £75,000 per week to £150,000, and the new deal would extend his stay at Old Trafford by a further four years to 2025.

On those terms, the Swede would be set to earn £46.8 million over the next six years in Manchester.

Lindelof has forged a new central-defensive partnership with summer arrival Harry Maguire for 2019-20, and the pair were impressive alongside one another in United’s opening-weekend 4-0 rout of Chelsea.
