Summer Man United signing opens up about life under Jose Mourinho
Victor Lindelof discusses how his Manchester United career has been going since his move last summer
Victor Lindelof has revealed that he is feeling completely settled at Manchester United following his move to the club from Benfica in the summer.
The Swedish defender became Manchester United’s first signing of the summer transfer window back in June last year as Jose Mourinho moved quickly to strengthen his options at the back.
Lindelof has been a regular fixture in the first team at Old Trafford this season as he continues to adapt to the demands of English football.
He has started eight games for Manchester United so far this term and he will be hoping to feature when the Red Devils take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday night.
And the 23-year-old Sweden international has lifted the lid on how he feels his first few months at Old Trafford have gone.
“As a player, you always want to play games and that’s what I’ve been doing over the last few games and I’m very happy that I can help the team on the pitch,” Lindelof told MUTV.
When asked how the adaptation process has been for him over the last few months, Lindelof said: “I think it’s been good. I think everywhere you go, it’s always going to take some time to adapt but I feel good.
“Every day I work out and I work hard to try to help the team. I’m always trying to be myself on the pitch and trying to do what I think I can do well.
“Of course, I think I’ve become a better player since I came here. I’m basically still the same type of player as I was when I came here, so I’m just trying to improve on those things that I’m already good at. I think I develop every day.”
Manchester United are currently in third place in the Premier League table after Liverpool FC leapfrogged them into second thanks to their 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday night.
The Red Devils will take on Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool FC side in the crunch showdown at Anfield next Saturday lunchtime as they look to try and finish above the Merseyside outfit.
Manchester United finished in sixth place in the Premier League table last season.
