Jansson, who has eight senior Sweden caps to his name and was named in their Euro 2016 squad this summer, spent five years with the Malmo first-team before making the switch to Italy in summer 2014. The defender featured 15 times in Serie A prior to linking up with the United squad, where he takes shirt number 18"
