Manchester United fans noticed what Victor Lindelof did after Huddersfield goal and make same demand

Manchester United fans are calling for centre-back Victor Lindelof to be named the next captain of the club after the way he reacted to Huddersfield Town's goal on Saturday.

United had been leading against the Terriers and looked likely to end their worst run of form since the 1960s but horrific defending from a long goalkeepr kick allowed for Isaac Mbenza to get in behind and slot the ball under David De Gea to equalise.

In the aftermath of the goal Lindelof can be seen geeing up his teammates and offering encouragement to youngster Tahith Chong.

United fans loved seeing Lindelof take on responsibility to try and motivate the team after the disappointment of conceding - and many have suggested he'd be a great choice for the next captain of the club.
