Man Utd defender Lindelof responds to Mourinho criticism

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has shrugged off criticism from Jose Mourinho after defeat at West Ham.

United were beaten 2-0 at the London Stadium to extend their tough start to the campaign under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Mourinho, who signed Lindelof for £30million from Benfica, said the Swede can be 'bullied' by opposition strikers and is weak in the air.

"For me it has never been a problem, I'm a very easy guy," responded Lindelof on Sky Sports.

"There is always going to be someone talking or someone else. When you play for this club there is always going to be people criticising you and the way you play.

"For me it has never been a problem, even when I play good there is someone criticising me for something. It's part of the job, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

"I'm just trying to do my thing and I don't focus on those things. I didn't even notice, or know about it, before you told me. That's how I live my life and focus on my things."
