Victor Lindelof revealed that Manchester United’s intention to fly out of the blocks against Leeds United worked perfectly.
The United center-back was among the scorers in a 6-2 win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side at Old Trafford, with Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes each scoring a double.
Lindelof told MUTV after the game that United were eager to match the intensity of Marcelo Bielsa’s team, per Solskjaer’s pre-match instructions. United had a habit of scoring a goal in games this season, but McTominay had made it 2-0 in three minutes at Old Trafford.
“You always want to start games well,” Lindelof said. “We knew they were going to start fast, they wanted to start on the front foot and the first two goals were perfect for us.
“They play with such intensity and we knew we had to stay focused and keep playing and running like there was no tomorrow. But we did it in a good way.
“We could have scored a few more goals, six is also good, but we could score a little more.”
Lindelof reflected on a “fun” afternoon at Old Trafford, with the three points that led United to third place in the Premier League table. The Swede insists that confidence is now high within the team.
“A lot happened during those 90 minutes, but it was a fun day for us,” he added. “We managed to score six goals, obviously we wanted to keep a clean sheet too, but we won the game and that’s the most important thing.
“It was a good team we were playing against and the result didn’t matter, they just kept going with intensity. They were very difficult rivals to face, but it’s good to score six goals.
“When we win football games it gives you confidence. Now we are on a good streak and we just want to keep going. We have to recover well because some important games are coming. The depth we have in the squad is important in this period. We have many games for come and I don’t think any player can play every minute.
