VICTOR LINDELOF married his long-term girlfriend Maja Nilsson in a spectacular countryside ceremony yesterday.
Lindelof, 23, moved to Old Trafford from Benfica last summer and was accompanied by Maja to Manchester.
Maja revealed last year that the defender popped the question last June while the pair were on holiday in the Maldives.
She actively supports her now-husband on social media but has made a name for herself through her work in marketing and her podcast, Livet På Läktaren (Life on the Stands).
And the Swedish couple tied the knot in beautiful surroundings in their home country before Lindelof joins up with his national squad to prepare for the World Cup.
Lindelof made his Red Devils debut in the 2-1 Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid last August but did not feature in the Premier League until October 14 when United drew 0-0 with Liverpool at Anfield.
