In the latest statement, one of the Red Devils' defenders, Lindelof, has expressed his desire to continue strengthening Manchester United for a very long time and even though his contract only ends in 2025, he is very confident that Manchester United will provide a new deal before that time comes. I think actually Lindelof is not too bad as a back-up defender and sometimes he can be relied on well when the main player is injured or absent due to a card penalty.

Lindelof's role is very central and I think he is much better than Harry Maguire. But his time with Manchester United only has 2 seasons remaining and if Manchester United don't want to keep him at Old Trafford, maybe he will have to leave as a free agent in the end.

Not so good for Manchester United not forgetting the qualities he poseess,confident and good with the ball and like you mentioned a good background defender.
He is a better defender to Maguire and should get more minutes if he doesn't leave. Man United are chasing new defenders he may as well be among  the list of players to be sold out.
Inter Milan brought a good fee for him to be bought but Man United coach declined the offer. Two years and he can still be sold he hasn't really influenced Man United defense.
Of course, in every training session, Lindelof also fights for the starting place, but Varane and Martinez are still not replaceable at the moment. Moreover, we know that Martinez has been Erik ten Hag's favorite son since he was at Ajax, so it is quite difficult to shift his position. Lindelof will try to give his best for Manchester United and even though up to now he has only been a bench option, he seems quite satisfied with this decision. It's only natural that Manchester United rejected Inter's offer because there is no other defender who can replace Lindelof and his role is enough to help this team when needed. Lindelof is confident he will still be useful for the Red Devils and it was a very good attitude for him to show.

Harry Maguire is not a defender anymore. He is someone who you would like to see in the outfit of your opponent, not yours. After so many incredible mistakes that he made, I am definitely surprised that he is still in the Manchester United squad. And the thing is, he still plays regularly as the first-team player. That actually amazes me a lot. And meanwhile, we have the quote saying that he is still a very important player for the squad. Honestly, I think the coach has gone mad. He should be checked if his mental health is actually okay or not.
