"The 31-year-old spent eight years at Old Trafford, making 284 appearances across all competitions as well as lifting both the EFL Cup and FA Cup. Since his arrival in England from Benfica in 2017, no player has made more clearances for the Red Devils in the Premier League than Lindelof (630). Indeed, only Harry Maguire (546) has won more aerial duels in the top flight for United than Lindelof (370) during that timeframe."
"But Villa appear set for a busy deadline day, with Emery stressing the need for additions after he watched his team slump to a 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Villans are the only team in the Premier League this season yet to score a goal, and they have aimed to combat that by pursuing two exciting loan deals. Reports emerged on Monday that the club are exploring loan deals for Liverpool's Harvey Elliott and Manchester United's Jadon Sancho before the deadline."
Victor Lindelof joins Aston Villa on a two-year contract after his Manchester United deal expired, arriving as a free agent. The 31-year-old made 284 appearances for United over eight seasons and won both the EFL Cup and FA Cup. Lindelof leads United for Premier League clearances since 2017 with 630 and ranks behind only Harry Maguire for aerial duels won (370). He becomes Villa's fourth summer signing following Marco Bizot, Yasin Ozcan and Evann Guessand. Aston Villa are pursuing further additions and exploring loan moves for Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho amid early-season scoring struggles.
