Daley Blind takes Manchester United team-mate Victor Lindelof house-hunting… after the Swede was ditched from the first XI

DALEY BLIND has taken his Manchester United team-mate Victor Lindelof house-hunting... even though the Swede signing has already been ditched from the first XI.

The former Benfica defender, 23, came into Jose Mourinho's table-topping squad this summer with hopes high after a terrific spell in Portugal.

Yet a dreadful pre-season campaign saw him dumped from the first-team squad, as Phil Jones partnered Eric Bailly in the heart of United's defence.

The move from Mourinho clearly paid off, as United have stormed clear at the top of the Premier League with two wins from two, including eight goals and a pair of clean sheets.

Yet Lindelof - an unused substitute for the 4-0 win away at Swansea - is clearly not concerned about his long-term future.

The Sweden international stepped out with Dutch team-mate Blind looking to buy some property in the city.

Meanwhile, his girlfriend Maja Nilsson is also clearly very comfortable in the North-West of England.

Earlier on Monday, the blonde stunner was spotted returning to her hotel from a trip shopping in a colourful, floral print pair of pyjamas.

Nilsson was out and about with close friend - and the partner of John Guidetti - Sanna Dahlstrom.

The pair are very close friends and even host a podcast together.

Lindelof has only made one competitive appearance for United since his £31million switch.

He featured in the 2-1 loss at the hands of Real Madrid in the Super Cup showdown in Skopje.

The Swedish defender was widely panned for his sub-par performance in Macedonia, with one fan even calling him United's "worst ever centre-back".

However, Lindelof has a host of experience under his belt having turned out 73 times for Portuguese giants Benfica.

Once he's caught up to the pace of the Premier League - and settled into a comfy new home - he should establish himself in the Special One's starting XI.
