‘The Weakest Defender I’ve Ever Seen’ ‘He Is Too Soft’ United Fans Want ‘Horrendous’ Defender Dropped From Starting Eleven

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof was far from his best against Everton in the 1-1 draw yesterday afternoon. Although the Swedish international put in a more assured display than he did in the same fixture last season, he still looked overawed at times.

The centre-back struggled with the pace of the game and was even outmuscled by Toffees stalwart Leighton Baines at one point. A number of fans on Twitter think it is time for the 25-year-old to move aside so Eric Bailly can get more game time:

We may see more of Bailly in the coming weeks. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reiterated that the Ivorian needs to ease back into things following a lengthy injury layoff.

Even so, he has impressed when given starts against Chelsea and Club Brugge recently, and he is certainly putting Lindelof under a lot of pressure for his place in the starting line up.
