Lindelof hit by an object

Victor Lindelof was hit by an object that appears to be a lighter from the Manchester City fans during United’s goal celebration in front of the City crowd.

According to a video shared on Twitter by @TheFergusonWay, the Swede was picked out among his teammates and the object hit straight below his left eye, he bent down immediately but it was nothing serious and he continued the game.

He was substituted in the 83rd minute of the game and replaced by academy graduate Scott McTominay, in what appears to be a tactical substitution more than a precaution or injury.

According to talkSPORT, he hinted at a summer exit despite his contract expiring in 2024 because he had fallen in the pecking order behind Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
