da premier bet： Safe to say, things haven’t gone too well for Victor Lindelof since swapping Benfica for Manchester United during the summer. At the time, the Sweden international was heralded as one of the most exciting young defenders in Europe.

But throughout his short Old Trafford career thus far, the 23-year-old has looked surprisingly out of his depth. He produced an anxious showing in the European Super Cup at the start of the season and was nothing short of calamitous against Huddersfield last weekend, culpable for the second goal with a mistimed header.
The Red Devils face arguably their biggest test of the season so far when Tottenham travel to Old Trafford in Saturday’s 12.30pm kickoff and the good news for Jose Mourinho is that both Phil Jones and Eric Bailly could be available after spells on the sidelines.
But we asked United fans earlier this week who should start alongside Chris Smalling at centre-back if the duo don’t recover in time, with Marcos Rojo also injured, and Lindelof found himself dwarfed in our poll by a considerably younger, considerably less experienced team-mate – Axel Tuanzebe.
While Lindelof has looked overawed in a United shirt, Tuanzebe put in an incredibly composed performance against Swansea during midweek’s Carabao Cup action and at this moment in time, it seems Red Devils supporters trust the academy product more.
