Manchester United waved goodbye to Victor Lindelof over the summer, but the defender remains without a club.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United<\/a> allowed a number of players to leave at the end of their contracts this summer.<\/p>\n

Christian Eriksen was the headline departure<\/a>, leaving Old Trafford after three years with the club.<\/p>\n

The Dane remains without a club as things stand, though Wrexham made an ambitious move for Eriksen<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

Another Scandinavian departed United as Victor Lindelof became a free agent<\/a>, with his contract expiring at the end of last season.<\/p>\n

Lindelof joined United in 2017 as Jose Mourinho raided Benfica with a move for the Swede.<\/p>\n

Despite failing to live up to expectations, Lindelof still racked up nearly 300 appearances across eight years at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Lindelof earned around \u00a3120,000-a-week at Old Trafford<\/a>, and with Premier League appearances declining in recent years, United let him go.<\/p>\n

The new season is about to start, but Lindelof is still a free agent and is searching for his next opportunity in the game.<\/p>\n

Lindelof has now decided to train with hometown club Vasteras SK in Sweden, in an attempt to keep fit ahead of a potential move elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Lindelof started his career with Vasteras SK, but he was quickly spotted by Benfica and whisked away for a move to Portugal.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old is now linking up with Vasteras SK again, as they chase promotion from the Superettan back to Sweden\u2019s top flight.<\/p>\n

Vasteras SK coach Kalle Karlsson has told Aftonbladet<\/a> that Lindelof asked to come and train with the club, but there has been no suggestion of a transfer just yet.<\/p>\n

Karlsson added that Lindelof might want to return to Vasteras SK in the future, and suggested that the door will always be open for him to come back home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always fun when he\u2019s there. He asked if he could keep going a little bit, so it wasn\u2019t more than that,\u201d said Karlsson.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly the future will tell if he ever wants to play in VSK when he has finished his international career. Then the door will always be open,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Victor Lindelof has been linked to a number of clubs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lindelof will surely back himself to land a team with European football on offer, and it hardly seems to be the right time for a move to Sweden\u2019s second tier.<\/p>\n

A transfer elsewhere doesn\u2019t appear to be imminent, though, and Lindelof has utilised his hometown club for fitness reasons as he waits on a move.<\/p>\n

Fiorentina have been linked with Lindelof<\/a>, potentially reuniting him with former United stopper David de Gea in Florence.<\/p>\n

Besiktas and Trabzonspor have also eyed Lindelof<\/a>, with former United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer potentially interested.<\/p>\n

Lindelof was also linked with a return to Benfica<\/a> earlier this year, but rumours surrounding a return to Lisbon have slowed down.<\/p>\n

Lindelof will surely find himself a new club very soon, and United fans will keep tabs on his progress wherever he ends up \u2013 even if it does end up being Sweden\u2019s second tier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United waved goodbye to Victor Lindelof over the summer, but the defender remains without a club.
