Former Manchester United winger Bjorn Djordjic is convinced Victor Lindelof has turned the corner in his Old Trafford career.

Djordjic insists his fellow Swede impressed in defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

"Victor did well against Manchester City and it gladdens me to say that, because he had a really tough start and, when you have a tough start, supporters get on your back," he explained on MUTV. “Certain fans did it after the mistake against Huddersfield - and I think they should take a look at themselves first because, if you are a supporter of this club, then you always support. You have to give new players a little bit of time and a chance to adapt.

“I would love to see Victor playing alongside Eric Bailly, who has been injured. I think he needs a leader beside him, somebody he can trust so he can spread the balls. To come on in the derby and do that well was great. I am happy to sit here as a Swede and talk well about his development."

Djordjic added: "Some fans need to let a player settle in before they go on social media and slaughter players," he said. “This guy plays for the Swedish national team, he won the league and cup at Benfica and he has just taken Sweden to the World Cup as well, so there is a player inside.

“Playing for Manchester United is totally different to anything else in football because, with one mistake, people just write you off straight away. So people have to look with their eyes a little bit and see his quality. Not only does he have a brain, he is very strong mentally as well to cope with this and he is going to get better, and better, and better. It took the great Nemanja Vidic to settle here, and Nemanja Vidic was a totally different player in style. Just give him time and he is going to be a fine player for the club."
