Lindelof buoyed by strength of United bench

While many were forecasting a difficult afternoon for United at Old Trafford, two early goals set the tone for a thoroughly convincing victory against the entertaining Elland Road outfit.

Ole is carefully managing the minutes of his players and has already hinted Lindelof and his regular central defensive partner Harry Maguire may need resting at some point.

Lindelof scored one of the goals against Leeds, his first of the season, when netting after Anthony Martial helped on a Luke Shaw corner. Afterwards, he spoke to MUTV's Stewart Gardner and highlighted the ability on the bench, with nine substitutes allowed for the first time this season in the Premier League.
