Victor Lindelof: My new motivation to succeed with Man Utd

Victor Lindelof says he has all the motivation he needs to succeed with Manchester United.

The Sweden international revealed that his newborn son gives him the motivation to work harder every day.

“I know what player I should be and I have to play in a certain way," Lindelof told Sport Bladet.

“If I miss a pass then I will keep trying again, playing with risk even if I missed, I think I learned it.

“It has taken several years. It is easy to start choosing the simple options if you have missed a few passes, it is about relying on yourself.

“I've established myself in United, am in the starting 11 every week, so I've come a little way. Now it is important to work, work, work to be able to dream of becoming one of the best in the world. I know I have that capacity.

“If I don't believe in myself – who's going to do it? I have to believe it to be able to put this work down every day. Get up, go to work out even though it is raining, and give it everything.

“I do it for myself. And now I do it for my son too. How do I explain… I can't find the right words now.

“He gives me the power to cope even more. I wake up and see him happy, get extra energy. Everything I do now, I do for him."
