Manchester United 1-0 Leicester City: 5 men who won the game for Solskjaer | Premier League 2018-19

#4 Victor Lindelof

Leicester City v Manchester United - Premier League

The Swede had been the pick of the United defense of late and had dealt with some stellar strikers with relative ease. On Sunday, Lindelof had another test of his character when he came face to face with Jamie Vardy, a cunning fox in the box with amazing efficiency in front of goal.

Vardy had previously given United defense a lot of nightmares, but on the night, Lindelof dealt with him extremely well. The English forward was restricted to a bit part role and was not allowed any time on the ball. As a result, Vardy had a relatively quiet night - he only had one big chance from a set piece - and Leicester missed his goal-scoring instincts dearly.

But Lindelof did not just deal with Vardy, he was massive against the entire Leicester attack, rising the highest and positioning himself well. Having Bailly alongside seems to bring the best out of him and when presented with the ball, the Swedish defender's qualities were evident again. It is now clear why Solskjaer did not indulge in the winter transfer window for a defender - Lindelof currently looks like a massive new signing and he is getting better with each game.
