Roy Hodgson was impressed with the dedication shown by Victor Lindelof in the 0-0 draw between Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

United fans were dismayed at another awful showing from their side, who were unable to break down a stubborn Palace rearguard.

If anything, Palace had the best chances in the game. And their boss Hodgson says that Lindelof showed great desire to play through injury at the end.

"If anyone doubts anything about Manchester United and commitment and desire, to see Lindelof, who had obviously injured himself, actually keeping pace with Zaha and [Jordan] Ayew, that would tell you more," Hodgson told reporters.

"If I was a Man United man, that would be one of the most impressive things that happened in the game as far as I'm concerned.

"It would give me a lot of satisfaction knowing that, not only are there good players here who can cause so many problems for opponents, you've even got that level of spirit and determination and guts when it comes down to it.

"He could quite easily have used the injury as an excuse, and Wilf and Jordan, who are very quick, could have gone past him and maybe even won the game."
