Man Utd defender Lindelof provides update on back problems

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof admits he has struggling with back problems in recent seasons.

The Swede has lost his place in the starting line-up after Raphael Varane's arrival at Old Trafford.

But the reduction of games could benefit Lindelof, who has long struggled with his back.

He said of his fitness: "I have played a lot the last two years and last year I had big problems with my back and played with pain.

"My back feels good now, there will probably be no problems, but I do not think I will play 50, 60 matches."
