Ex-Man Utd Man Lindelof Stars for Villa, Faces Old Club

Victor Lindelof, who previously spent seven years and made 284 appearances for Manchester United, is now a vital asset for Aston Villa. He joined Villa on a free transfer last summer, choosing them over other offers. Lindelof is poised to face his former club this weekend, having recently stepped into the starting lineup for Villa in place of the injured Pau Torres.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has lauded Lindelof's immediate impact, emphasizing his extensive experience and professionalism. Emery singled out Lindelof's exceptional performance against West Ham as his best to date for Villa, noting his quick adaptation and mature understanding of the game. This contribution is seen as crucial for the team's ongoing success.

Villa has been on an impressive winning streak, securing nine consecutive victories across all competitions. The team has shown remarkable resilience, coming from behind to win three of those matches, accumulating 15 points from losing positions this season. This contrasts with Manchester United, who have dropped 10 points from winning positions in the Premier League, highlighting Villa's strong mentality.
