'Lindelof guts and determination shows Man United still have desire' – Hodgson

Victor Lindelof's decision to continue playing despite being visibly injured during Manchester United's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace proves Jose Mourinho's team is playing with desire, according to Roy Hodgson.

United produced another tepid display at Old Trafford on Saturday and were arguably fortunate to take a point against a Palace side who had lost their previous three games across all competitions.

The result leaves United trailing pacesetters Manchester City by 14 points after just 13 matches in an underwhelming start to the campaign.

United's form has seen fans, pundits and even Mourinho question the team's motivation, but Hodgson pinpointed Lindelof as proof to the contrary, battling on with a knock after the hosts had made all three substitutions.
