Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof turned assist maker for Marcus Rashford’s first goal in the 3-2 win over Sheffield United last night.
The Swedish international delivered a superb long ball on a dime for his teammate, but it wasn’t the pass that got supporters talking. After Rashford put the ball into the back of the net, the 26-year-old defender simply walked away as if nothing had happened sparking a discussion on Twitter:
That Iceman composure even after Rashford scored is legendary

Considering it was only his third assist in a United shirt, and his first of the season, you would have thought Lindelof would have shown more emotion after making such a superb pass, but the Swede is simply not programmed that way it seems!
Undoubtedly, he would have been delighted by his part in the goal and the hard-earned victory. He would have certainly wanted to keep a clean sheet but an unfortunate error from goalkeeper Dean Henderson early in the game put paid to that. His key contribution going forward, though, ultimately proved decisive.
