LINDELOF VICTOR BRUSH ASIDE SCORCHER FROM MOURINHO.
Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has said he is not bothered about the criticism from his former manager Jose Mourinho in the aftermath of his side’s 2-0 defeat to West Ham United.
Mourinho, who signed Lindelof from Portuguese side Benfica during his tenure as coach from 2016 to 2018, said the Swedish international was “very good” in some aspects of the game but could be “turn on the heat ” by forwards due to weakness in air-minded shootouts.
For me it has never been a problem or anything to me, I’m a very easy guy,” Lindelof told DFM sports. Even when I play good there is someone assessing me for something. It’s part of the job, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
The 25-year-old, who recently signed a new contract that will keep him at United until at least June 2024, praised new defensive partner Harry Maguire’s leadership.
He said I’m just trying to do my thing and I don’t focus on those things. I didn’t even notice, or know about it before you told me. That’s how I live my life and focus on my things.”
