Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has hailed the club's squad depth as a reason for their improvement this term.

United may have bowed out of the UEFA Champions League, but they are in a strong position in the Premier League.

The Red Devils find themselves third with a game in hand on the top two.

And after their 6-2 win over Leeds United, in which Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood started on the bench, Lindelof praised the depth of options available to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

"Of course, that shows the depth in the squad," Lindelof told MUTV when asked about a star-studded bench.

"That's very important during this period.

"Like I said, games are coming up quick and I don't think every player is able to play every minute of every game so that's very important for us to have players who, if they didn't play today, are ready for the next game."
