Man Utd ace Victor Lindelof struggled against Huddersfield

That’s according to Arsenal legend Paul Merson who’s slammed the former Benfica ace.

Huddersfield secured a shock 2-1 win over Manchester United following goals from Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre this afternoon.

Lindelof was drafted in for Phil Jones after the England international hobbled off in the first-half.

Despite costing a hefty £31m, Lindelof is yet to start in the Premier League.

And Merson, who played nearly 600 professional games, was far from impressed by the Sweden international’s disastrous cameo.

“Jones went off which was a shame, shame for England as well because he was playing well,” he said.

“And then the lad Lindelof came on, wow. If you watched the other lad, Schindler, on the other team, you’d take him all day long.

“If you came down from the moon and you were watching that, if you did and you looked and you said afterwards, talking like an alien because you lived on the moon, you would have said he was outstanding.

“He had Lukaku in his pocket, absolutely in his pocket.”

Lindelof was guilty of a big error for Depoitre’s goal, missing a header from a goal kick from Jonas Lossl.

Merson said it reminded him of Michail Antonio’s goal for West Ham against Burnley last weekend.

“Who was it last week, Burnley?” he added.

“Exactly the same, this time the goalie kicks it out of his hands, Lindelof goes to head it, he misses it.

“It falls down and he’s one on one with the keeper, De Gea comes out, goes round him and puts it into the net. Outstanding finish, bad defending.”
