TO 2-0 victory at Old Trafford over Greek champions PAOK It was enough to drag United back into the qualifying knockout stage.

Both goals were scored by Amad Diallothe second in particular being a special goal that sent a real message to Rubén Amorim.

However, he was not the only player who put in an outstanding performance in the game.

Victor Lindelof delivers his best performance in a year

So, while Amad was by far the best player on the pitch and Casemiro was also selected on MUTV for his performance, Victor Lindelof deserves a lot of praise.

The Swedish defender hasn’t played much football last year, but against PAOK we saw his best performance in a long time, possibly since his goal against Luton on November 11, 2023.

Lindelof was among the best on the field after the other Amad and it is clear why his performance was highly appreciated.

• 62/70 passes (89%)
• 82 touches
• 1/1 dribbles
• 1/2 tackles
• 2 authorizations
• 2 interceptions
• 7 defensive actions
• 8 recoveries
• 0 haggled past
• 12 duels won

It was a more than solid performance by Lindelof, as he showed his highest level at this stage of his career.

It was a display that will impress Amorim and give him ideas on how to potentially save Lindelof’s United career.

Against PAOK, Lindelof was the best we have seen from him in a long time, reminding many fans of the quality he possesses.

This performance got us thinking: maybe Lindelof has a future at Manchester United after all.

Amorim’s three-man defense means an extra centre-back is needed and with his expert passing, he could fall into Amorim’s favour.
