Lindelof looks for redemption ahead of Carabao Cup clash

The former Benfica man joined the fray from the bench on Saturday after Phil Jones had to be withdrawn through injury but a nervy display did little to prove to already concerned United fans that he can go on to become a mainstay of the club's backline in the years to come.

Now, with Jones set to miss the Carabao Cup clash against Paul Clement's Swansea and with fellow defenders Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo still recovering from their respective injuries opportunity knocks for the man who United paid £31m for during the summer.

United boss Jose Mourinho only has Lindelof, Chris Smalling, Axel Tuanzebe and Daley Blind to choose from at centre-back for the game and it would surely be a crushing blow for the 23-year-old should he not feature.

Former Manchester United star Ryan Giggs urged fans to keep faith with the Sweden international on Tuesday, saying that he himply needs time to ajust to the rigours of the Premier League.

Lindelof has been limited to five starts for United since his big-money move, with three of those coming in the Champions League, on in the UEFA Super Cup and the other in the Carabao Cup.

Can he get his United career back on track on Tuesday?
