Man Utd defender Lindelof: It went well with Maguire

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof was full of praise for Harry Maguire after victory over Chelsea.

The pair played together for the first time as United thrashed Chelsea 4-0 on Sunday.

"He is a very good football player. It worked well with the entire back line and with the goalkeeper. We can only build on this," he told Viasat.

"We held tight at the back and then they let go of their positions so we could score. Everyone was happy after the match."

Lindelof added: "We let go for a bit. In others, we control the game in a different way. We were stronger in the second-half than them."
