Injuries to Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane have left Man United without their first-choice defensive partnership over the season.
Erik ten Hag barely had a selection decision to make at Manchester United last season and nowhere was that more true than central defence.
United were not without their injury problems and spent the latter weeks of last season with neither first-choice centre-back - both were injured in the Europa League quarter-final first-leg draw at home to Sevilla in April. But for the most part, that area of the pitch was set in stone and the pair developed an excellent relationship.
"Getting more to starting XI, 12, 13 players, you can rotate so you get routines in the team. In this season so far, left-back and right-forward position, we have to change a lot and then you swap the team, you don't get the routines in, also the midfield balance is not there. But I'm sure once we get there we will play better, we will improve our game, the performance will be better and form there on.
Lindelof only missed the 1-0 win over Fulham last weekend due to illness and returned to the squad against FC Copenhagen, but the Swede's versatility at full-back leaves him vulnerable to being moved out wide.
