Worried Lindelof seeks showdown talks with Man Utd boss Mourinho

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is set for crunch talks with manager Jose Mourinho over his situation.

The Sun says Lindelof wants to sit down with Mourinho to seek reassurances over his Manchester United future.

The Swedish defender has not made a Premier League start since the New Year's Day win at Everton.

He has played just three FA Cup ties since then, including United's 2-0 victory at Huddersfield on Saturday.

Lindelof – a £31m signing from Benfica – was axed from the starting eleven by Mourinho at the beginning of the season.

The Red Devils chief believed the 23-year-old needed more time to get up to speed in England.

He has struggled since though, and he fears he will will see little time on the pitch between now and the end of the season.
