Lindelof’s current deal sees him pocket 60,000 pounds per week and his new deal will more than double his wages to 150,000 pounds per week.
As it is the norm in recent years for United, the club have an option to extend the Sweden international’s contract by a further year.
The defender joined the club in 2017 and has made 74 appearances to date, appearing in every match so far this season alongside new signing Harry Maguire. Lindelof had a horror first season at United and there were doubts whether he had what it takes t succeed in the Premier League. But Lindelof proved his doubters wrong with a much better second season and is now a mainstay in the United defense.
Lindelof told the club website: ‘Since the day I arrived at United it has felt like home. I have grown significantly both as a player and as a person in the last two years and for that, I am grateful to everyone at the club for their help and support.
‘I love playing football and my aim now is to help the team to win trophies and repay the fans for their unrivaled support.
‘I know that everyone at the club shares this vision and will give everything to get Manchester United back to where it belongs.
‘I’m still young and know I can improve further but with the help of the boss and his coaching staff, I believe that only good things are ahead for this great club.’
