Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has defended Victor Lindelof after their 1-1 draw at Southampton.

Lindelof was beaten in the air by Jannik Vestergaard for Southampton's equaliser just a week after he was outjumped by Jeffrey Schlupp, whose flick-on assisted Jordan Ayew in Crystal Palace's win at Old Trafford.

"As a centre-back, once in a while you do lose a header," Solskjaer said. "And sometimes it's just in those patches and costs the team. Last week, he lost one header, that was a flick on and they scored, this week, he lost a header, and it became a goal.

"You don't expect your centre-back to win every single one, it's not like he's a little boy, Vestergaard, we should have done better and stopped the cross and those were the 10 seconds they created something.

"Apart from that I thought that Victor did well."
