Kinda surprised noone has mention that apart from that he had a decent game. Oh, who am i kidding, he's the new Zlatan around here. Y'all are just swedeophobes.

He did have a decent game apart from that
Not the best of starts he could manage , Wil take some time to gel with the team and on this level.
I also think its because he was used to play lcb side than rcb where jose is putting him now compared to last season. he's been decent but needs to be sharper.

Apart from his mistakes he had a mistake-free game.
And Benfica fans said he was way more comfortable as RCB than LCB. I think Jose sees how badly he is coping with the step-up so far so is playing him in the position he feels most comfortable to give him the best possible chance of success here.
Yep. He hasn't really impressed. Just gotta believe it's growing pains and he'll get up to speed over time. Age is on his side as well so not much to be concerned about. For whatever reason people expect new signings to be starters right away. Not the case for everyone, just look at Mikhi last season. Took him a while to adjust and after what seemed like a very long time he finally earned his starting spot. Expect the same thing with Victor. Plus we have enough depth at CB to not have to force him anyways.
Patience :]
Wasn't that Blind though? Or are you thinking of another moment?
That was Lindelöf, bUt they both look similar, good on the ball and shit at defending at times. Could have happened to Blind or Smalling too, with how cumbersome they are at times
He's talking about the moment when he cleared the ball and he almost put it behind De Gea in the second half.
Haven't seen anything prior to a couple of the pre-season performances for us but on my first viewing I it raised my eyebrow as not a very Mourinho-like signing, especially when you look at Bailly from last season and how perfect he looked playing for us very early on in the season.. Lindelof looks extremely raw/nervy in defending his man one vs one and I will be interested to see how he develops because he obviously has the talent and has to make the step up.
I'm not really sure what Jose's plan is honestly. I feel kinda bad for Lindelof. I was watching today's practice and everyone seemed to have a smile on their faces except for Lindelof. I think he's realizing this is going to be a bigger challenge than he expected.
Having Matic on the team will help him though.
I'll still never understand why anyone would purchase a centerback whose best attribute isn't defense.
He better have some steller passes this season. Otherwise I don't start him over Bailly, Smalling or Rojo.
Jury is still out though.

I haven't watched much preseason football apart from highlights and maybe 1 match so I have no idea how he is as a footballer. Just waiting for the season to kick off.
Lindelof, the new old Rojo
As a Swede I've watched Victor a lot of times and he has always managed to raise up his game to another level when getting the chance: U21, Benfica, Sweden NT. He looks like a totally different player right now and you can see that he hasn't settled in yet. It's been one pre season and once he feels at home it will be a big difference and it's not like he hasn't played under pressure before. United are a bigger stage than before but playing in the Champions League and super important games for Sweden ain't much smaller.
If we wanted the ready made package then we should have gone for Bonucci. Lindelof is talented but he needs time to develop. We will have to wait.
Real Madrid 2:1 Man Utd
Bad signal when fecking Casemiro gets in behind your back.
The lack of communication from Valencia was as much to blame.
He's being targeted. Expect it to be a common sight over the next few weeks.
Madrid tearing apart from his side! He is being run ragged till now.
Terrible defending even if he was slightly offside.
It was offside. You can't blame defenders for a linesmans mistake.
He shouldnt be starting, he isnt anywhere near close the level required currently
Terrible mistake holding a line that was perfectly fine. It was offside, I'm not sure what you expect?
Of course you can when it's a marginal call and when the defender has no idea that there's someone behind him.
How is it bad defending if he was offside?Well not really. He's done his job by playing the opponent offside.
I'd be surprised if he does when the season starts. Bailly + Smalling/Jones will be the starters, I'd expect.
Casemiro played himself marginally offside and Lindelof had no idea about it. Proper shit defending.
Casemiro was offside. How is it shit defending if he did his job and Casemiro had an illegal advantage?
Lindelof kept the line with the rest of our defence. It's that extra space that allowed him to get on the ball. There's only one person to blame for the goal and it's not Lindelof. Aside from that I think he's still been shite mind you.
Even if it was a mistake it's hardly a terrible piece of defending.
For one who has seen him in both Benfica and Sweden its just sad seeing him in the United shirt. All his qualities seem to be gone. Based on his performances in Sweden and Benfica, i would never have thought it was him playing if i did not know he did the transfer.
Very sad watching a player become so much worse just because he changed club.

I actually think he's played well.
You guys actually think Mourinho would have bought him as a starting cb for almost 40 million if he played like this in Benfica?
I think hes beem poor so far. Indecisive.
I did initially blame Lindelof for the goal but as soon as the replay showed Casemiro was offside you have to accept it wasn't his fault - it's actually arguably good defending
I don't think you can blame him for an offside goal.
He does look nervous though. The kind of CB that doesn't inspire confidence, so far.
Very early doors obviously.

He has.
Early days but he looks like a waste of £30m. We'd have been better off sticking with Tuanzebe and spending that money on a full back or winger.
The number of times he's been completely wrong footed by a simple drop of the shoulder by Isco and co is staggering. He seems completely dejected, it's either that or he's another who has flattered to deceive in the Portuguese league.
