Former Everton star tips Lindelof and Matic for Manchester United success

Ex-Everton and Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott believes Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic will both enjoy success with Manchester United.

Lindelof joined United from Benfica for £31 million in June, but after an indifferent pre-season he was left out of Sunday’s Premier League game against West Ham.

Phil Jones and Eric Bailly impressed at the back as the Red Devils cruised to a 4-0 victory, but Lescott insists Lindelof will make his mark at Old Trafford.

“I’m sure it will (take him a bit of time to settle),” Lescott told Sky Sports.
