First-team[edit]

@Mattias321: No sources says Victor Lindelöf will play for Benfica's first-team next season. We don't know the future. Read WP:BALL. SLBedit (talk) 23:20, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Manchester United[edit]

On June 10th it was reported by Manchester United's website Victor Lindelof signed for Manchester United . — Preceding unsigned comment added by SAM.SATISH.EBENEZER (talk • contribs) 20:37, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, it wasn't. They said they'd agreed a deal with Benfica, but they still have to get Lindelof to sign a contract. – Pee Jay 20:59, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it is confirmed that they agreed on a deal with Manchester United, and he's getting his medical at the moment. - Arozzanen 15:59, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes, the two clubs have agreed a deal, but Lindelof has not yet signed a contract with Manchester United. – Pee Jay 14:36, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He has now officially signed for Manchester United and has been publicly confirmed Gdswans (talk) 18:19, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I pointed out below, the contract does not start until 1 July, so we shouldn't update the infobox just yet. – Pee Jay 18:26, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why not lay it out in the same format as is seen on Bernardo Silva's page? Gdswans (talk) 18:33, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is what I've done. – Pee Jay 18:39, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Olympics[edit]

About the 2016 Olympics, he turned down the offer to participate, as did many Swedish players. Alas, he wasn't bumped out of the team.

Manchester United contract[edit]

I have created a separate section for Lindelof's Manchester United career now, but please do not update his current club until 1 July. Manchester United have announced the completion of the transfer, but they also say that his contract with them does not start until 1 July. – Pee Jay 18:12, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 29 October 2017[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. (non-admin closure) Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:22, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Victor Lindelöf → Victor Nilsson Lindelöf – Same as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. If he has two surnames both should be shown since neither is more than the other. In Sweden he’s always referred to as Victor Nilsson Lindelöf Jonteemil (talk) 23:09, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – as per WP:COMMONNAME, we should use the name used in reliable English language sources, even if that isn't the officially "correct" version. The current title is the name he is routinely referred to with in English language media and by his club. Different versions of people's names can exist in different language and cultural contexts; as this is the English version of the article, what he is referred to as in Swedish sources is not relevant to our title. Jellyman (talk) 23:10, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Just glancing at the sources used in the article, the common name seems to clearly be "Victor Lindelöf". Jenks24 (talk) 11:35, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Semi-protected edit request on 11 July 2018[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Personal life should be updated. He is now married to Maja Nilsson Lindelöf rather than just engaged. Please update this ASAP! 193.110.132.187 (talk) 13:47, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 14:28, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, they married on 28 May 2018. Sources: The Sun, Daily Express. SLBedit (talk) 15:43, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Debut[edit]

Lindelöf actually made his debut for Västerås SK in October 2009. Game report from Swedish FA. He also played more than one game in the 2010 season. I found 10 game reports with Lindelöf included from the 2010 season (game 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) Although fotbolltransfers.com and elitefootball.com says 9 games. The first one is original research by me, so probably should say 9 games in the article. --Fredde (talk) 16:58, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant Information?[edit]

Not sure how it is relevant that Lindelof played all 90 minutes in the 9-0 win over Southampton or why this is included in the article. Perhaps because it was record-equalling?--ManUnitedLemur (talk) 00:11, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
