Manchester United new boy Victor Lindelof will be a perfect fit but needs more time, insists Jesper Blomqvist

Victor Lindelof has been tipped to become an Old Trafford success despite having a shaky start to life as a Manchester United player.

The 23-year-old versatile defender had a far from impressive pre-season campaign and was part of the side which lost to Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup.

Lindelof is yet to feature for United since but Jesper Blomqvist believes his compatriot has what it takes to become a regular for Jose Mourinho's side.
