The centre-back came under a lot of criticism at the start of the season for his error-prone performances at the back for the 'Red Devils'.
Since then, he has become much more of a steaedy presence and was even given the Swedish Player of the Year award last week.
However, it was revealed by Janne Andersson that he was replaced by Filip Helander due to illness.
"Victor did not feel well but he finished the first half." the Swedish coach tolf reporters after his team's 1-0 victory.
"Then Filip came on and did not make a mistake, so Filip played very well."
