Shit penalty. Hope the Maguire injury doesn't mean that he starts. Rather see Heaven play, this guy won't be here next season.
 
Hasn't he been injured the last few windows, thus scuppering any opportunity to try and sell him.
 
The most surprising thing is that it was José who signed him. Defenders were supposed to be his thing.
 
No offence to him, but the fact he’s still at United in 2025 sums it up.

Bored of seeing his face after the latest chucklebrother effort.

All the best, Victor
 
The moment he came on, was the moment that you started seeing CB backing of on every single occasion, up till the goal line. Only on one occasion he demonstrated a bit of ball when Jimenez previously hit him and he set up on a revenge tackle. Complete pussy, always was, always will.

Personally I'd go with Yoro-Casemiro-de Ligt.

Casemiro allows us to bring the ball out from the back and has a good passing range, also helps he's strong in the air as well.

Jose buried hima couple of years ago too when doing punditry. Saying that Lindelof hates heading the ball.

Zero recovery pace though and goes to ground more often than not.
 
He'll go on to have a good stint somewhere else for the end of his career.

Maybe join Dave at Fiorentina.

It's funny that he wanted to replace Blind straight away (who had just formed our best CB partnership with Smalling the season before José joined, and was probably our MOTM in the Europa League final just before Lindelof joined) and brought in someone worse on the ball, physically weaker and non-existent in aerial duels.

Yeah we’ve got to get away from this. I read something around the time when INEOS took over that players would get a couple of years and if they’re not up to it they’ll be shipped out. Let’s see if they back that up.

Lots of posters have referenced this Berrada quote but we can't just force players out. Contracted players have the right to stay. We can't magically generate interest from other clubs either, and if there is genuine interest, it's doubtful the interested clubs will match the wages we're paying.

Ineos will struggle to clean up the old regime's mess.
 
My memory isn't great but I think Victor has been a bit unlucky as whenever the transfer window opens he seems to be always be injured or recovering from injury.

Hard to generate much interest in a player who hasn't kicked a ball for months and will be available for nothing come the summer 2025.

Funny that. Almost like he’s avoiding a move…

yea 100% a right to stay, but who in the right mind would. people say it's a short career to make money etc but if it was me there's no doubt I'd be thinking it's a short career to make memories. any player with pride would be looking to see out their twilight years actually playing good football. Any footballing person? maybe anyone thinks otherwise loves money more than the game. sure Victor, casemiro and Co have easily made enough to last a lifetime. and that's not getting into the moral obligation for the club. It's the epitome of modern football and it's sickening

You can say that there is 'no doubt', but you are guessing. No one knows what they would do.

The easier way to avoid a move is to just refuse signing for another club. Let his agent tell any club who makes contact that he's not interested.

Lindelof has simply become a bit injury prone over the last two seasons. He's missed significantly more time in the last 18 months than he did in the six full seasons before that. Hell, while we don't know if they were true, there were quite a lot of rumours towards the end of last season that Lindelof was looking to leave to get more gametime.

Casemiro is supposed to have a net worth of around 100 million, why on earth is he happy to settle for life on the bench? just doesn’t make sense.

I think most elite footballers are too competitive to just give up because they don't get the game time they want. Otherwise everybody except 15 players would leave.

You talk about a short career and wanting to create memories, but if you look in the past: last season was the only one where Lindelof had little game time (that included 100+ days of injury). Before that, he has been one of the players with most matches for several seasons. His average is 37 games / season over his time here (this season excluded). Most of them are full 90 minutes.

exactly. I suppose in his case the desire could have completely dissolved having won all possible at club level. Victor on the other hand cannot possibly feel this way

ok so let's say he considers his career to date as successful because he (passively) played in games, do you think he will feel satisfied in how his career has went? I'd say a self respecting pro would not feel satisfied and if he somehow does then I'd not consider him to be competitive. as far as I believe he was valued at benfica so he must know how it feels and should surely strive for this again. I think along the lines of phil Neville who left to become one of the most valued players for Everton. I doubt many will look back fondly at his time here.

Weird take.

He's played for one of the biggest clubs in the world winning multiple trophies, captained his country and is a multi millionaire from his career.

He's had a better career than 99% of footballers.

He and his family might just be really settled in Manchester enjoying their life there. Think he said this couple of weeks back. Possibly the same with Lindelof.

He did say that. Our (perhaps only) hope is Ronaldo pushes this summer for Al Nassr to sign Casemiro so they play together for a year or two before Ronaldo retires. That or a MLS club.

On Lindelof: don't have many complaints on him. Rarely played last or this season so there were other players to be frustrated about. He'll leave in few months and that'll help our wage budget.

A professional sports person should want to compete. Not just train. I can think of numerous places I’d rather live to be honest…
 


Came on fresh, should have plenty of energy and motivation to defend well and does his usual backing off and not engaging giving the player all the time in the world to play that pass.

He does this a dozen or more times every season. Such a cowardly player.
 
Why is he getting any minutes ahead of Heaven. Heaven showed more against Fulham than this clown but here we have a manager who shouts standards and all bit rewards mediocre players like him.
 
Man Utd 1:1 Arsenal New
Much maligned player on here, but he's better than many give him credit for. He was a steadying influence at the back today.
 
Give him his due, he played well. Can see him starting in midweek especially if Yoro is out.
 
Can't really blame him today as the defence played generally well. With Maguire there there is always mistake or two and we could have conceeded more if he played.
 
Dud well today, and he will be needed till end of season. Just hope we don't get duped into a stupid contract extension.
 
Can see him going back to Portugal in the summer and he will be very good there. If he gets a run of games he’s still a very good defender. Injuries have hampered him at United more than ability.
 
Lindelof was pissing me the feck off in the first half. So physically weak, so pathetic in duels, aerially meek.

Second half he was a lot better, but looking forward to him leaving in May.
 
Good performance unlike his cameo vs Fulham. Gone in few months but hopefully Lindelof can finish his United career strongly. With our injury troubles he could be getting many more minutes still.
 
My least favourite player in the team (and that’s saying something). So weak and meek. He never engages with forwards but just retreats and invites shots. His second half is was better tonight but I’m no fan.
 
Couldn't believe it's Lindelof. Putting in performance that is better than Maguire.
