​Man Utd defender Lindelof: Why can't we challenge for titles?

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof believes they can challenge for trophies this season.

The Red Devils have not won a trophy in five years, one of their longest barren spells in modern history.

After finishing sixth in the Premier League last term, Lindelof believes the team can be revitalized by new boss Erik ten Hag.

"I'm not really focused on other teams and what they're doing in the transfer market," Lindelof told ESPN.

"I don't read things. I just try to focus on myself and my team, that's the most important thing.

"[Liverpool and Man City] have been performing well but I have great belief in the players that we have and I think we can perform at a very, very high level. If we do things right and we work hard we can compete.

"We represent this amazing club and we want to compete for trophies. The aim for every footballer is to win so it's always what we're looking to do."
