Benfica star Victor Lindelof's match highlights
Man Utd fee for Lindelof to rise
Manchester United may have to pay as much as £51million for Victor Lindelof, according to reports.
United are understood to have agreed terms with Benfica defender Lindelof ahead of a January transfer.
The two clubs were thought to have agreed a £38m fee.

But Portuguese newspaper O Jogo claim Benfica will offer Lindelof a new contract in order to insert a higher release clause into the deal.
According to the report, Lindelof is still keen on signing for United.
But the Red Devils will have to pay Benfica additional cash if the Sweden international meets performance-related targets at Old Trafford - should he pen this new deal before completing his transfer.
Arsenal could offload Mathieu Debuchy next month
Arsenal happy to offload Debuchy
Arsenal hope to offload Mathieu Debuchy in the January transfer window.
Debuchy went on loan to Bordeaux last season but returned to the Gunners to fight for his place in the first team.
But the 31-year-old has played just one game all season for Arsenal and is set to leave, with Hector Bellerin the clear first choice under manager Arsene Wenger.
According to French newspaper Le Parisien, Ligue 1 side Marseille are keen on landing Debuchy.
It is claimed the former Newcastle star could use the move to try and force his way back into the France national side.

Leeds could lose Vieira
Bundesliga side RB Leipzig are reportedly eyeing a deal to sign Leeds United playmaker Ronaldo Vieira.
Leeds star Vieira has forced his way into Garry Monk’s side this season and has excelled going forward.
But the Yorkshire Evening Post say the 18-year-old’s performances have attracted Leipzig.
Leipzig are flush with cash and are pushing Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title this season.
Leeds are likely to be unwilling to sell Vieira but may reluctantly do so if the German club come in with a sizeable offer.
Chelsea's loan plan
Chelsea plan to send Ruben Loftus-Cheek out on loan, according to reports.
Loftus-Cheek, 20, has made just three appearances for the Blues this season - and only one in the Premier League.
The midfielder has struggled to break into manager Antonio Conte’s side, which has remained largely untampered with during their 12-game winning streak in the Premier League.
The Daily Mail claim Chelsea have received more than 10 enquiries from clubs seeking to sign him.
But the Blues will prioritise a Premier League club and want Loftus-Cheek to move on loan until the end of the season.
