Lindelof is currently with United’s squad for the start of their pre-season tour in Australia and the defender’s agent admits Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side must be the ones to instigate negotiations for a transfer to happen.

“Lindelof is on the radar of a great European club,” Cetinkaya told Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo. “But leaving United depends on the English club.”

The Swede enjoyed a breakthrough season at Old Trafford last campaign as he proved himself to be one of Solskjaer’s most reliable players.

The Jose Mourinho signing was only a bit-part player under the Portuguese, but since Solskjaer’s appointment he has made the centre-back position his own with one of either Chris Smalling, Phil Jones or Eric Bailly being rotated to partner him.
