Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool: 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Hit: Victor Lindelof

Lindelof impressed throughout and rarely put a foot wrong against the league leaders

Victor Lindelof continues to improve leaps and bounds from the vulnerable center-back exposed against the likes of Brighton and Huddersfield last season.

At 24-years-old, perhaps the £30m price-tag was weighing heavily on his shoulders early in his United stint, but the Swedish international has gradually settled among his defensive-minded teammates and is growing in confidence.

So much so that his partnership alongside Chris Smalling has developed and performances like this just highlight the progression first-hand. Only Fabinho (4) completed more than his three tackles, while he recorded a game-high nine clearances against the league leaders.

Against a Liverpool frontline who, as inconsistent as they have been this season, remain constantly dangerous? Another hard-earned clean sheet and eye-catching display is a welcome morale boost, especially after speculation suggesting he'd be on his way out under Jose Mourinho last year.
