Swedish defender Lindelof is one figure the Old Trafford club are prepared to part ways, especially as he has entered the final 12 months of his contract. A transfer may be on the horizon as reports that Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in signing him as they look to strengthen before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.

The 30-year-old centre-back joined United seven years ago from Benfica and has made 259 competitive appearances for the club. However, he was not part of the squad as United lost to Manchester City in a penalty shootout in the Community Shield last week.
