Manchester United fans fume as Lindelof ‘milks the Cow dry’
Manchester United fans are seething after transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealed that out-of-favor defender Victor Lindelof has no intention of leaving the club before his contract expires next summer.
The 30-year-old Swede, who has tumbled down Erik ten Hag’s pecking order, reportedly prefers to see out his lucrative £120,000-a-week deal at Old Trafford despite being on the fringes.
With Manchester United pushing for a squad overhaul following last season’s disappointing eighth-place finish, the club has already offloaded several big names. But Lindelof, who made just 28 appearances last season and missed 22 games due to injuries, remains content to stick around—even as the club struggles to offload dead wood.

United fans, frustrated by Lindelof’s decision to stay put, have taken to social media to vent their displeasure, accusing the center-back of “milking the cow dry.” The January-triggered contract extension intended to facilitate a summer sale now seems to have backfired, leaving fans to wonder if they’ll be stuck with Lindelof’s hefty wages for another season.
As the transfer window ticks down, the Swede’s reluctance to leave could leave United with fewer options to clear up wage space, further fueling fan frustration.
