Lindelof: Everyone's eager to play on Saturday
Victor Lindelof admits every one of his Manchester United team-mates is eager to return to action swiftly, in Saturday's trip to Burnley, following our narrow UEFA Champions League defeat against Bayern Munich.
Early strikes from Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry saw United fall two behind during the first half, before Rasmus Hojlund grabbed his first goal in United colours at the start of the second period.
Harry Kane's penalty quick made it 3-1, before midfielder Casemiro narrowed the deficit as the game wore on. Bayern substitute Mathys Tel then netted the home side's fourth, before our no.18 completed his brace with the seventh goal of the night.
Victor partnered Lisandro Martinez at the heart of our defence, and admitted it was a stern test against the Bundesliga champions.
