Manchester United fans have been left in utter shock after noticing a new skill of Victor Lindelof’s during the centre-back’s Man of the Match performance for Sweden against Spain last night.
In the 54th minute of the tie, Lindelof amazed the Red Devils faithful by taking a long throw-in for his nation, something that we’ve never seen from the 26-year-old and perhaps a handy new trick for United.
Lindelof was a deserved winner of the Man of the Match award after helping his side to a shock draw against Spain, with Sweden managing to come away with a point despite being on the back foot.
The Blagult shared the spoils despite holding just 14% of the possession as Luis Enrique’s side crafted countless opportunities but saw their attempts nullified by Sweden’s back-to-the-walls defending.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been encouraged to call on this new-found ability of the defender’s come next season, it may be a real trick up United’s sleeve to *throw* their opponents off guard.
