Man Utd defender Lindelof full of praise for fellow Swede Roony Bardghji

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has sung the praises of FC Copenhagen whizkid Roony Bardghji.

The Sweden captain came up against his countryman home and away in the Champions League this season.

"For my own part, it wasn't fun (losing in Copenhagen), but it's very fun that a young Swedish player can get up to that level and do well. For Swedish football, it's a lot of fun," the 29-year-old tolds Fotbollskanalen.

"I haven't seen much of him, but from what I saw during the match, I saw that he has great qualities. And I had a little chat with him after the game.

"He seems like a calm and nice guy."
