The rebirth of Victor Lindelof this season has really been something to marvel at for most Manchester United fans. The Swede finally looks like the player Manchester United thought they were getting when they forked out a huge sum to get him from Benfica.

He has been strong on the tackle, plays the ball from the back excellently, and to top it all, he’s providing a physical presence at the heart of the back four. Since Chris Smalling's injury, the Manchester United back-line has depended hugely on Victor Lindelof. And he hasn’t disappointed.

His cross field balls to the strikers have given Manchester United a new dimension when building from the back. No longer does the team depend on a midfielder dropping deep to pick a pass from the back, as Lindelof has been doing that quite well.

One can say that finally Lindelof has adapted to the physical nature of English football, as you no longer see him get bullied around by opposing strikers. Against Arsenal, the Swede will look to continue with his form, and keep Arsenal strikers at bay, and also provide an outlet for United at the back.
