Man United Transfer Blow: Jose Mourinho's Top Target Out Of Reach Until The Summer
Jose Mourinho has been dealt a blow in his pursuit of Victor Lindelof
The Manchester United boss wants the Sweden defender to help bolster his defensive options.
He is ready to move in January and bring him to Old Trafford to help their charge towards the top four this season.
But Portuguese side Benfica will not give him up until the summer because they remain in the Champions League .

Mourinho is also weighing up a move for Southampton captain Jose Fonte and could add him to Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones.
Smalling is back in the squad for tomorrow’s trip to West Brom but has not featured since the Chelsea defeat with a broken toe.
Bailly has impressed since his £30m move from Villarreal but suffered an injury against Chelsea as well and is heading to the Africa Cup of Nations next month.
