Newcastle United 1-4 Manchester United: 5 men who were brilliant for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | Premier League 2018-19

#2 Victor Lindelof

The Swede was stellar in

defense

once more

Solskjaer desperately wanted a clean sheet ahead of Newcastle, as his team had conceded a goal in each of his first three games. Victor Lindelof had been a constant feature in Solskjaer's back 4, and against Newcastle - the Swede was stellar in defense once more.

Tasked with the responsibility of keeping the extremely physical Rondon at bay, Lindelof showed no signs of nerves, and matched the Venezuelan throughout the game.

His partnership with Jones has been good this season, but the Englishman was not at his best on the night. Lindelof did not let that affect him though, and looked extremely at ease throughout the game.

The Swede even went ahead on a couple of occasions as United took control of the game in the second half, and was a threat during the set pieces.

Lindelof is finally coming true to his reputation - he was adjudged the 2018 Swedish Player of the Year - and has been an assured presence in the back four recently. It was due to his efforts De Gea was largely undisturbed, and United finally secured a clean sheet under Solskjaer.
