Lindelof may have cost £40m but is not guaranteed games at Man Utd, warns Pallister

The former Red Devils centre-half considers the Sweden international to be a fine addition, but has warned that he is not guaranteed to be a starter

Victor Lindelof is not a guaranteed starter for Manchester United and faces fierce competition for places, says Gary Pallister.

The Red Devils made the Sweden international their first signing of the summer transfer window back in June, with a £40 million deal put in place with Benfica.

He has been eased into the fold during pre-season, with Jose Mourinho eager to get minutes under his belt and help smooth the transition into English football.
