VICTOR LINDELOF wants to sit down with boss Jose Mourinho to seek reassurances over his Manchester United future.
The Swedish defender has not made a Premier League start since the New Year’s Day win at Everton.
He has played just three FA Cup ties since then, including United’s 2-0 victory at Huddersfield on Saturday.
Lindelof – a £31m signing from Benfica – was axed from the starting eleven by Mourinho at the beginning of the season.
The Red Devils chief believed the 23-year-old needed more time to get up to speed in England.
He has struggled since though, and he fears he will will see little time on the pitch between now and the end of the season.
An Old Trafford source said: “Victor wants to know which direction his early career is going here.
“He hasn’t played on a regular basis for a while. His camp is a bit bemused why he hasn’t been playing more.
“Everyone knows about the early struggles but he has come on a lot since then and has worked really hard.

“Victor is a really strong trainer. He does not want to rock the boat at the club, he just wants reassurances.”
Lindelof has made 21 appearances for United so far this season, only seven of which have been starts in the Premier League.
And Mourinho is understood to be looking to add to his back-line next summer as he eyes a switch for Tottenham ace Toby Alderweireld.
