Lindelof Brushes Aside Mourinho Criticism

Lindelof Brushes Aside Mourinho Criticism

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has refused to be inconvenienced by criticism levelled at him by former manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho took aim at Lindelof’s defensive abilities in the wake of Manchester United’s 2-0 away defeat to West Ham United in the Premier League last Sunday.

Appearing as a pundit on Sky Sports, the former Manchester United manager criticised a player he signed from Benfica in the summer of 2017 during his time at Old Trafford, suggesting it was easy for opposition strikers to get the better of him.

The Sweden international who recently signed a new five-year contract at Old Trafford is however unperturbed by Mourinho’s comments.

"For me it has never been a problem. I'm a very easy guy," Lindelof told Sky Sports. "There is always going to be someone talking or someone else.

"When you play for this club there is always going to be people criticising you and the way you play.

"For me it has never been a problem, even when I play good there is someone criticising me for something. It's part of the job, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

"I'm just trying to do my thing and I don't focus on those things. I didn't even notice, or know about it, before you told me. That's how I live my life and focus on my things.

"If you are playing for Manchester United, [scrutiny] is part of it. If you do not perform you hear about it, it's quite normal.

"I could see my future here so that's why I signed a new contract - I'm really happy about that. We have a good thing going and I still want to win the big trophies with this club, that has been my goal since I signed."

Manchester United host Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday.
