Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been named Sweden's Player of the Year.

Lindelof has been named Sweden's best player for the second successive year after impressing for his country.

Lindelof, speaking to TV4, said of winning the award: "I am proud and grateful to have received this award two years in a row. It means that I have done something good and that people have liked it.

"It is hard to explain. I am very happy and proud. Now it will be even more hard work, I have many years left in my career and may be able to take home some more.

"As a player, you don't go around thinking about it, you just do the best for your team, then you become happy when they call and announce that you've got the prize. It means a lot."
