MU midfielder in pain after becoming redundant

In a press conference after Sweden's 5-1 win over Northern Ireland on March 26, Lindelof said: "It's been a long time since I've played. I feel very good playing 90 minutes with high intensity for the national team. The last few matches have been very difficult but that's what I wanted, which is to play regularly."

Lindelof cannot compete for a regular place at Old Trafford, at the time his contract expires in June. This season, constant injuries have prevented Lindelof from contributing much to the "Red Devils".

Since the beginning of the season, Lindelof has only played 14 times for MU, of which only 2 times were in the Premier League. Coach Amorim prioritizes Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez over Lindelof, increasing the possibility that he will leave MU next summer.

Even the young rookie Ayden Heaven is also having impressive performances, making Lindelof's chances of playing less. In the 3-4-2-1 system, coach Amorim also prioritized pulling Noussair Mazraoui to play as a third center back instead of putting his trust in Lindelof. This shows the lack of trust from the coaching staff in the Swedish player.

Lindelof has failed to live up to expectations since joining United in 2017 for £31m from Benfica, and Benfica are reportedly keen on re-signing him when he becomes a free agent this summer.

Bruno Fernandes shined on the day MU won big against Leicester. In the early morning of March 17, Bruno scored 1 goal and 2 assists to help MU defeat host Leicester 3-0 in round 29 of the Premier League.
