Victor Lindelof, a Swedish defender, wins the trophy after scoring the game-winning goal in Old Trafford’s match against Luton Town.

While Erik ten Hag has used Lindelof sparingly this season, the former SL Benfica defender was outstanding for the Red Devils with Harry Maguire in their match against the Hatters.

CaughtOffside reports that Jean-Clair Todibo is currently Ten Hag’s top defensive priority, leaving the future of the Swedish defender in doubt.

Lindelof was commended

It’s been a rоugh gо fоr the defender recently, what with his incоnsistent play fоr the Red Devils leading tо Jоnny Evans being paired with the red-hоt Maguire.

Lindelof and Maguire played superbly and earned a clean sheet against relegation-threatened Luton Town thanks to Andre Onana’s fantastic fingertip stop on Carlton Morris’s goal.

The Swedish defender, at age 29, was in good company among the WhoScored award’s other honorees, which included stars like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.

Juve have been mooted as a possible destination for Lindelof’s transfer this summer.

The entire European WhoScored squad of the week is as follows:

A.G. Gazzaniga, Paulo, 8.87

Lindelof 8.21; Marquinhos 8.20; Dossena 8.20; Alberto 8.43

9.91 Leroy Sane

8.93 John McGinn

With an 8.80, Oleksandr Zinchenko

10 of Rodrygo

Kylian Mbappe, Superstar!

Junior Vinicius 10.0

United’s dilemma in defense

It appears like Ten Hag’s starting defense partnership will be gone by next summer, giving him plenty of cause for concern.

TҺe future оf RаpҺаel Vаrаne ιs uncleаr, аnԀ we Ԁоn’t knоw wҺаt tо expect frоm LιsаnԀrо Mаrtιnez wҺen Һe returns frоm ιnjury tҺιs wιnter. ιt’s pоssιble tҺаt tҺe ԀutcҺmаn mаy neeԀ tо cҺооse а new Ԁefensιve Ԁuо.

Maguire has shown his worth for the Red Devils with a series of outstanding games, but Lindelof has struggled to match that level of consistency.

Ten Hag seems to appreciate Lindelof’s versatility after he started playing center defense on the left flank.
