Twitter reacts as Victor Lindelof celebrates three years at the club
Today marks three years since Swedish star Victor Lindelof signed for Manchester United.
He was signed from Portuguese giants Benfica in a four-year deal, with an option for a further year. (h/t Man Utd)
He made his Reds debut in the UEFA Super Cup match against Real Madrid. He has since made a total of 104 appearances and has scored two goals and two assists. (h/t Transfermarkt)
Although he initially struggled, he has received a new lease of life under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Lindelof went on to pen an extension to his contract in 2019. (h/t BBC)
His new terms expire in 2024, with the option of a further year added on. Lindelof has formed a good partnership alongside Harry Maguire at the heart of the United defense.
A number of fans took to Twitter to react to the player’s anniversary. Opinion regarding his performances have been a mixed bag.
We are hopeful he will win over his detractors in the years to come. Until then let us take a look at some of the reactions.

Cool and has an eye for a pass always looking for the right pass forward.
Underrated. Can even play him as a cdm with Bailly and Maguire behind

If he was a bit stronger in the air and more dominating he’d be world class, reads the game beautifully. Harry maguire get him taught 😁

Still remember that match in 2018/19 against Crystal Palace where he kept playing even after injuring his leg ❤️

Good on the ball…but he needs drastically to work on his arial ability, easily getting bullied in air by physical players.. need to judge aerial passes batter for reaching the next level..

Its was a slow start but gradually he’s pick up the pace saw him play at benfica n I feel he can do way better than what he does currently

I really like him and I wish him the best
And this season he became a liability! Such a shame as I really liked him at first, but not his strongest season at all. Fingers crossed he’s better when we start back up again this week 🤞🏻
