For Benfica, it's business as usual with transfers, titles (The Associated Press)

It's a scenario Benfica's fans are more than accustomed to: watching their club perform its masterful balancing act of staying atop the Portuguese league while transacting smart business deals. When the January transfer market opens one of the leading candidates likely to be on the move in Europe is Benfica's central defender Victor Lindelof, who is widely rumored to be on his way to play for Jose Mourinho's Manchester United in the Premier League. UEFA also selected Lindelof to its starting 11 of up-and-coming players who came into their own in the Champions League last season, when Benfica reached the quarterfinals.
