Andersson: Man Utd defender Lindelof a complete player

Former Bayern Munich defender Patrick Andersson is delighted seeing Victor Lindelof prove his potential at Manchester United.

Lindelof has shone in recent weeks.

"As a player, he's fairly complete," Andersson, the former Barcelona, Blackburn Rovers and Sweden defender, said.

"He's adaptable, two-footed, calm and comfortable on the ball and good one against one. I remember the game against Juventus in Turin in November when he did very well one-on-one against Cristiano Ronaldo.

"He has it in him but, as a defender, you need to be playing regularly, have confidence from your coach and a regular partner but, due to injuries and a lot of changes at the back at United, it's not been easy for him, and in his first year you could see the impact."
