Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been named Sweden's player of the year.
The 24-year-old was given the honour on Monday night, and became just the second player to win it after a decade of dominance by his former club team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
LA Galaxy striker Ibrahimovic won it in every year between 2007 and 2016.

I don't get it, isn't he a non starter for Man Utd? Let me guess, are there no players in Sweden?

Lindelof, Mata , Pogba, Rashford , Lingard and Herrera , six mediocre players who are always spouting off. It would be a good idea if they concentrated on improving their game and kept their thoughts to themselves.

How many times have teams scored in the first fifteen minutes or scored straight after United scoring.you will get no where fast with a defence that has needed a world class centre Half for years.just look at Smalling in the first goal grabs a defender which should have been a pen.then runs out of the way when player took a shot.it was easier to head the ball.smallling stop grabbing players you cause mayhem

Somehow he won this award but not the best Defender award. That went to Granqvist. Not entirely sure how that works. Lindelof is not a very good defender thats why, good footballer otherwise though Different juries Ah, that makes a bit more sense. Marketing

The cold country in Northern Europe with 10 million people that got to the quarterfinals at the last World Cup after finishing ahead of The Netherlands in the qualifiers, won against France, eliminated Italy and then won their group with 6 points and that have had players like Ljungberg, Henrik Larsson, Ibrahimovic and Patrik Andersson as Guldbollen winners during the 00s sure suck... We really feel like we should be doing better up here...

What bench? He’s started the majority of our games this year? Víctor Lindelof is arguably the best defender you have. Don’t know what shite he’s talking about Honesty not sure if that’s a compliment It's not haha. But he has been in some very good form recently.

Perhaps, but he plays in the Swedish second division now. And he won the prize last time specifically for the WC qualifications, so there is that. Overall, it's easy to make the case that Lindelöf should win based on the fact that he plays day to day in a better league plus the Champions. Factor in the fact that he is still young while Granqvist is beyond his prime and it makes sense.

Tbh last season it didn’t feel like he was playing at high level on a weekly basis. Despite how leaky we’ve been as a team I think he’s been much improved this season though. I was talking more about the quality of his opponents compared to Granqvist for example. A player who in the last couple of months have been playing in the 2nd tier in Sweden.

United do concede goals but Lindelof has made a massive improvement over the last 2 months. There's a reason he was signed by United.

When you hear lindelof, wins player of the year and you are trying to explain. Lindelof as in Lindelof of Man U, that plays under Jose Mourinho.
