Victor Lindelof was part of the Man Utd team that beat Leicester on Sunday to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Jesse Lingard and Victor Lindelof celebrate United's win at Leicester

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof said he and his teammates were all 'happy' to see Jesse Lingard end his Premier League goal drought against Leicester.

United beat Leicester 2-0 courtesy of goals from Bruno Fernandes and Lingard at the King Power Stadium.

United were awarded a spot-kick midway through the second half of their vital Champions League decider at the King Power Stadium when Anthony Martial was fouled in the box.

Fernandes stood up to tuck away the vital goal, which set Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side on their way to a 2-0 win. Lingard then wrapped up the victory late on and Lindelof admitted the United players were ecstatic to see the stoppage time goal go in.

Speaking to MUTV he was asked about the penalty and said he had full confidence in Fernandes.

"I was quite confident when I saw that it was a penalty," said the Swede, who was impressive in the win. "He's a great penalty-taker and I think he knew right away where he wanted to put the ball. I wasn't nervous at all.

"It was a relief when he scored that second goal and for him to do that was a very good moment, so we were happy for that."

On the game as a whole, Lindelof admitted that United weren't at their best but relied on defensive resilience to see out a hard-fought win.

He added: "We didn't play our best game but we showed strength as a team to come here against a strong team like Leicester and win 2-0, so job done.

"It's always been our goal this season after the break to get that Champions League spot and we've achieved that.

"Every time we go out on the pitch we do everything together. We press as a team and attack and defend as a team. That's been the main key for the unbeaten run. Everyone knows what they're supposed to do on the pitch and if you know that I think everything is easier.

"Obviously we have some really good attackers as well, who have been performing and I think as a defensive unit as well, with David [de Gea], we've been having some really good games as well.

"We didn't perform to our highest level but still went out there and fought as a team and we were mentally strong. The result showed that at 2-0 and another clean sheet."

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was

MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ This life moment

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know  I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten
