5 Manchester United players who have improved the most under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

#3 Victor Lindelof

Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League

The Swedish defender had a forgettable first season, where he struggled to come to terms with the rigours of the Premier League. After a strong outing in the summer with his country in the World Cup, the "Ice Man" returned to Old Trafford with much-needed experience and maturity. However, even though his performances were better, Lindelof still looked nervy at times and was a part of a defence that let in a plethora of goals in the 17 games under Mourinho.

The defence had been the bane of Manchester United and while defensive reinforcements are a necessity now, Lindelof has turned a new leaf ever since Solskjaer took over the proceedings at Old Trafford. The defender has been a regular feature under his new manager and has gone from strength to strength in the last 4 games.

Lindelof has thrived under Solskjaer's tactics, which builds on his strengths and emphasizes his abilities. Indeed, the Swede has been comfortable on the ball, has regularly joined in attack and even set up a goal in that time. Against Newcastle, Lindelof was stellar in defence and showed a new physical side to his game that finally got Solskjaer his much desired clean sheet. The Norwegian will be quietly confident that the man he trusts the most in the defence will only get better now.
