Victor Lindelof has completed his £30million move to Manchester United .

The Sweden defender arrived at United's AON Training Complex on Wednesday to undergo a medical and finalise his move from Portuguese side Benfica.

United confirmed a deal has been struck to sign Lindelof, who will become boss Jose Mourinho's first signing of the summer.

The 22-year-old centre-back has agreed a four-year deal with United, with the option for a further year.

Jose Mourinho said: "Victor is a very talented young player, who has a great future ahead of him at United.

"Our season last year showed us that we need options and quality to add depth to the squad and Victor is the first to join us this summer. I know that our fantastic group of players will welcome him as one of us."

The Swede added: "I am thrilled to be joining Manchester United. I have enjoyed my time at Benfica enormously and I have learned a lot there.

"But I’m looking forward to playing in the Premier League at Old Trafford and for Jose Mourinho. I’m keen to get started and make my contribution to the team’s efforts to win more trophies."

Benfica posted a video of Lindelof's highlights at the Stadium of Light on social media on Tuesday as they bid farewell to the defender, along with the caption: "The best of luck, Victor Lindelof!"

Lindelof has been on international duty for the last 10 days, playing in Sweden's 2-1 win over France on Friday night.

He sat out the 1-1 friendly draw with Norway on Tuesday evening.
