Arrival of Victor Lindelof would be the final nail in coffin for Roderick Miranda’s Wolves career
This week it has been reported that Wolverhampton Wanderers are beginning their preparations for next season, by making a move for Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof. that the £31 million Sweden international is the target of a loan switch from the newly promoted Midlands club.
It would be a fine move from Wolves as Lindelof has proven he is a highly talented defender this season, even if occasionally error-prone.
However, if he was to arrive, what would it mean for some of Wolves’ current centre-back options, namely, Roderick Miranda.
Signed last summer from Rio Ave the Jorge Mendes client went straight into the starting XI at Wolves.
