“Yes of course” – Man United £120,000 Per Week Star player reveals he is frustrated at lack of minutes, will see what is best in summer
Victor Lindelöf, the Swedish centre-back for Manchester United, has recently spoken candidly about his current situation at the club. Despite being at Old Trafford for five seasons, Lindelöf has not been a guaranteed first-team regular and is reportedly not all that happy these days.
Partnering with Varane and Martínez
Erik ten Hag, the current coach, has been preferring to partner Raphaël Varane with Lisandro Martínez more often than not, leaving Lindelöf on the bench. While the 29-year-old defender has had 21 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United this season, most of those have been as a substitute.
Frustrations with playing time
Lindelöf wants to be a regular starter and expressed his frustration at not being able to play every game. Speaking to Fotbollskanalen, he said: “Yes, of course. You want to play every game, but I haven’t done that this season. Of course, you want to play matches, but there haven’t been as many. That’s why I play football, to play matches.”
Focus on the present
Despite recent transfer rumors that were sending him away from Old Trafford, Lindelöf made it clear that he was not currently thinking about the future and was focusing on the present. He said, “Right now, I want to focus on the national team and on ending the season well with Manchester United. Then we’ll see what’s best.”
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Lindelöf at Manchester United. However, his commitment to the national team and his desire to help the club end the season on a high note are clear. The defender’s comments reflect the frustrations of many players who want to be regular starters and contribute to their team’s success. As Lindelöf continues to work hard and improve his skills, he may yet become a regular first-team player for Manchester United.
