Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Lindelof a cultured, European centre back

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted with Victor Lindelof's performance for victory over Bournemouth.

Solskjaer admits he's been impressed by the Swede.

He said, "He is a cultured, European centre back. He gets on the ball, he passes it really well, he knows when to quicken things up and slow things down. It is different to play in England and he has had time to adapt and he has been excellent in all three games I must say."

Eric Bailly was sent off and the manager added: "Eric [Bailly] knows it is a rash challenge, he doesn't have to do it. Just stay on your feet. But once in a while, when the boys are excited, we want to win the ball back and sometimes we mistime a challenge. Eric is the first one to accept that he made a mistake."
