Rangers defender Fabio Cardoso has revealed his admiration for Manchester United centre half Victor Lindelof and admits he would pick the Swede in his top eleven.
Manchester United paid big money to sign the Sweden international from Benfica last summer but the defender has struggled to adapt to English football and has remained a squad player this season.
While many expect Lindelof to eventually make a name for himself at Old Trafford, he is still to become a key member of Jose Mourinho’s squad and is trying to cope with the intensity of Premier League football.
However, Lindelof has his admirers across football and Cardoso, his former Benfica team-mate, admits that he would have the Swede in his best eleven and again form a centre-back pairing with him.
He lavished praise on the Manchester United defender’s ability to stay calm and unflustered no matter how intense a game becomes.
