Today’s fluff knows a turkey and some mistletoe help to make the season bright
Manchester United are neck-deep in talks with Benfica over their Swedish defender Victor Lindelof, who the Portuguese club apparently values at a cool £42m. The Sun report that the player’s agent is currently in England for discussions with the United hierarchy, while the Mail expand this to declare the arrival of “a delegation from the Portuguese club” and O Jogo announce that Benfica president Luís Filipe Vieira is in town, but the former paper warns that he “may have to drop [his] asking price as United’s need is no longer so great”, given the form of Phil Jones and the fact that Marcus Rojo has miraculously managed to avoid long-term suspension for a number of games now. Clubs whose need is no longer so great should probably avoid talking terms with £42m-rated defenders, you’d have thought.
