I think Lindlöf is a good center back, and that he would take a starting place in many more teams then what we (many)in the United fanbase thinks.
I do believe he suites the "outher" european leagues better than the premier league.
One of the reasons is because he is a moore tactical player than the hardplaying one. And fore many of us that love the premier league, loves it because of the fast and powerfully games we wants to watch.
Lindelöf loves to block the players runs, not trying to take the ball, just lead the player to a possession thats not considers a dangerous possision/angle. In premier league we expect/likes players to bee a bit more like AVB or Bailly, whom almost every time try to take the ball. Great for the stats when succeeded and looks fantastic for the eyes, and we all screams and applause thet kind of play(when succeeded). I'm sure the Lindelöf play is the best fore him. His way feels safer, but don't look that great and dont get the attention Bailly get (god and bad).
One other thing is hes speed. With the play he play, he don't need to be the fastest player. Of course it doesn't hurt to be faster, but you can do a good job just by being smart. If he try to get the ball like Bailly, he will take out the player more times then what we like to see, just because hes not fast enough.
He is not strong. He gets bullied. Thats my biggest issue with him. I hate to see when players just move him to the side. But to be fair, it dos not happens that often!
He do wins a lot more headers then what I thought.
He is fore me a good player, but I still expect more from a United CB, and especially if you considers that he is the one to match Maguire. Not on the contrary. I think they are to simular.
I do understand why managers like Lindelöf and hes play. Its kind of secure, you know what you get.... And in the big games were we stay deeper with the whole team, he suites better than Bailly for example.
His play is kind of similar to VvD but he is just not that good. I cant remember were I saw it but didn't he have better allover stat then VvD before the injuries? Stats don't tell the whole story, I do know VvD is a better player. But its a bit interesting.
I do believe he would accept to be the third option and I also believe this would be really good for United, if we could find the perfect match for Maguire. Bailly is not consistent enough and have to big problems with injures.
