Defender Victor Lindelof has said that he has had 'no problem' with starting Manchester United's opening two Premier League fixtures this season on the bench.

The Swede, who joined United from Benfica back in 2017, has watched Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez start the opening two games in the heart of the back-four.

They formed Erik ten Hag's first-choice centre-back partnership last season and were hugely successful alongside each other.

Lindelof, however, finished last season as a regular starter for United after Martinez fractured a metatarsal against Sevilla in the Europa League in April.
