Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been named the Sweden national team captain.

Lindelof was confirmed as the Sweden captain earlier this week and the Manchester United centre back spoke to Sweden football about the decision to make him the leader of his national team. According to him, it is a great responsibility in addition to it being a great honour to lead the Sweden national team. Lindelof also said that it was a dream for him to represent the national team while growing up just like what's obtainable with other young players.

Manchester United star Lindelof says he feels enormous pride when he puts on the yellow and blue shirt of Sweden. He then said it would be big for him to top it with the armband.
