Lindelof, who played two demanding Nations League matches for Sweden during the international break, has been a shining light in Uniteds poor start to the season.When asked if Lindelof is injured, Red Devils boss Mourinho said: I believe so. I have to believe so. I always say that this is the period of the injuries.When they are not injured in the national team, they come to the clubs and they are injured.He played against Russia three days ago or two days ago and, of course, we need him and he played and he was probably the best player in the team.Victor Lindelof in action for Sweden3

He was a brave guy, probably punishing himself, who knows, for how long he will be out, but a fantastic example.Lindelof is set to miss Uniteds Champions League game with Young Boys on Tuesday.And it seems Roy Hodgson was equally impressed by the defender’s effort.If anyone doubts anything about Manchester United and commitment and desire, to see Lindelof, who had obviously injured himself, actually keeping pace with [Wilfried] Zaha and [Jordan] Ayew, that would tell you more, the Palace manager said.Both Mourinho and Hodgson were impressed with Lindelof playing through the pain barrier3

If I was a Man United man, that would be one of the most impressive things that happened in the game as far as Im concerned.”It would give me a lot of satisfaction knowing that not only are there good players here who can cause so many problems for opponents, youve even got that level of spirit and determination and guts when it comes down to it.He could quite easily have used the injury as an excuse, and Wilf and Jonathan who are very quick could have gone past him and maybe even won the game.Mourinhos praise for his star defender comes after accusing some of his other players of lacking heart as they failed to break down a resilient Palace side. He added: There are games that are special games and not just one more.This was a special game, the first of eightPremier Leaguegames until the end of December, a game we need to win and it was not enough from the heart.You must play with brain and also with heart and I think not enough heart.Mourinho also feels the current generation of players are not as prepared for life as they were in his generation.
