Manchester United's Victor Lindelof is set to miss Europa League game

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the team will be without defender Victor Lindelof before for their Europa League clash against Partizan Belgrade on Thursday night. Lindelof is the latest on United’s injury list after suffering a re-occurrence of a back injury that he had first sustained against AZ Alkmaar in October in their recent 1-0 league defeat against Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Solskjaer stated that Victor Lindelof suffered a knock against Chelsea and that he did not come through the game against Bournemouth without a reaction so he will be out against Partizan. After a run of three consecutive away victories, United went down to a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth. However, the Red Devils can qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa League if they beat Partizan at Old Trafford, with the manager also revealing that his team will play attacking football.
