#Victor Lindelof

Award szn babyyy!That's right, we're back with THE BUSBYS™, the categories of which may or may not continue from season to season.It's all about having fun here, and unlike last season we actually got to have some fun this season.So let's get on with it, and honor the recipients for the 2022/23 season.

Victor Lindelof is set to be offered a new contract by Man United, following his emergence at the end of the campaign.Manchester United's defence has undoubtedly been the club's weakness over the last few seasons.The lack of any consistency in that area of the field led to a total loss of confidence in some players.

Casemiro scored a brilliant acrobatic volley to give Manchester United a 1-0 Premier League win at Bournemouth on Saturday that took them closer to Champions League football next season.United moved to 69 points in fourth place in the table, behind Newcastle United on goal difference.The visitors dominated the opening exchanges and went ahead in the ninth minute when Cherries defender Marcos Sensesi tried to hook away a Christian Eriksen pass behind the defence, but only succeeded in teeing up Casemiro for a brilliant spinning volley.

David de Gea - Made a couple of smart saves to preserve his clean sheet.Did his job well.7/10
Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Defended diligently for 90+ minutes.Tried to get forward wherever possible.6/10
Raphael Varane - Superb.Was always in control of the situation.Calm and composed throughout.6/10
Victor Lindelof - Continued his great form.

Player ratings from Manchester United's 4-1 win over Chelsea to ensure Champions League football will be back at Old Trafford next season.David de Gea - 8 We got a collector's item.Diogo Dalot - 7 Look sharp from the start.Good season overall, but still needs to work on his final ball.Harry Maguire - 8 Probably his last game at Old Trafford as a United player.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the RB Leipzig defender Mohamed Simakan at the end of the season.According to journalist Santi Aouna, Manchester United have now enquired for the 23-year-old defender and it remains to be seen whether they can secure his services in the coming weeks.

United came out on top in that FA Cup semi-final clash, with Victor Lindelof netting the winning penalty in the shootout after it finished goalless after 120 minutes, and revenge will be on the mind for Brighton.European football is still very much on the cards for the Seagulls, who will move eight points behind United in fourth with a game in hand should they win this Premier League encounter.

David De Gea - 7 Hasn't had too many issues in home ties this season.Looks set to win the Golden Glove Award.Diogo Dalot - 7 Back at right-back.Has regained some form after moving to left-back and had a solid game.Victor Lindelof - 8 It wouldn't have counted but the clearance was incredible.Luke Shaw - 8 We don't need cover at left center-back.

David de Gea - His monumental error cost United dearly.It swung the momentum in West Ham's favour and they never looked back.2/10
Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Solid enough defensively and did try to get into some attacking positions.5/10
Victor Lindelof - Continued to play well.Dealt with Antonio positively for large portions of the game.

David de Gea - Made some excellent saves late on to keep United in it, but couldn't stop the 99th minute penalty.6/10
Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Did another number on Mitoma in this match.Defended so well and kept his side locked down.7/10
Victor Lindelof - Continues to prove his worth as a top quality centre-back.

M anchester United will face Brighton in the FA Cup semi-finals after coming from a goal down to beat nine-man Fulham in a remarkable game.The visitors were much the stronger side for most of the game, deservedly going ahead through Aleksandar Mitrovic, who almost scored a second.But when Willian handled the ball on the line and was duly sent off, Mitrovic and manager Marco Silva were also dismissed for wild protests.

Manchester United are looking at a summer move for Fulham's Joao Palhinha, although Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham are also monitoring the Portugal midfielder, 27.Manchester City are interested in Ben Chilwell, 26, as the England left-back could be part of a "mass clearout" at Chelsea this summer.

Needing nothing short of a miracle to remain alive in the Europa League, Real Betis welcome Manchester United to the Benito Villamarin Stadium for Thursday's last-16 second leg.Manuel Pellegrini's side were put to the sword 4-1 by the Red Devils in last week's first leg - the perfect response to their Liverpool embarrassment for Erik ten Hag's XI.

The Red Devils have named their 21-man travelling party for the last-16 second leg in Spain with the Brazilian winger not included.After missing training on Wednesday with illness, Antony is also a doubt to face Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-final on the weekend.He has already been named in Brazil's squad to face Morocco in a friendly later this month.

The Red Devils head to Spain in a very comfortable position after a fine second-half display at Old Trafford put them within touching distance of a spot in the quarter-finals.Only once has such an advantage been overturned in the Europa League knockouts although perhaps Betis can take hope from a couple of shaky domestic displays from Erik ten Hag's men in recent weeks.

Fresh from lifting the EFL Cup, Manchester United seek to move one step closer to booking their place in another Wembley cup final when they host West Ham United at Old Trafford in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Wednesday.David Moyes, meanwhile, returns to familiar territory as the former Red Devils boss bids to avoid a third successive elimination with the Hammers at this stage of the competition.

Since the return of club football from the World Cup, the International break took over again in the form of Friendlies and UEFA Euro qualifiers.14 Manchester United first-team players were called up by their National teams around the world and in this article, we take a look at how they fared for their countries in the recent international break.

Newcastle United are weighing up a move to sign Scott McTominay, with the player at least entertaining the idea.By now, Erik ten Hag will have a clearer picture of the current Manchester United dressing room.The gaffer will know who is good enough - and who isn't.The likes of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof could be on their way out this summer, while others will undoubtedly follow.

David De Gea - 8 Made three top saves.Deserved a clean sheet for his performance.Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 5 Done well to get back into the side but been poor on the ball in his last two matches.Harry Maguire - 7 His lack of recovery pace was on show at times, but he's starting to look more comfortable on the right.

With Raphael Varane returning late from the World Cup after reaching the final, and Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof being unwell, Luke Shaw has been a surprise success in the centre of Manchester United's defence in recent weeks.The left-back has been selected as one of the three possible candidates for United's player of the month after a string of composed displays in a new position.

David de Gea - Made some big saves to keep United in the game at times.Tried to bark his orders from in net.7/10
Diogo Dalot - Not his finest outing in an attacking sense, though did just about enough defensively.5/10
Victor Lindelof - Did just about enough.Though there's a significant drop-off in quality from the regular two centre-halves, mind.

Manchester United had to come from behind, but they are through to the FA Cup quarterfinal stage after a 3-1 win against West Ham at Old Trafford.The Reds came in with a bit of a rotated side, and though they fell behind in the second half they were able to switch on and take control of the game.Manchester United created a few chances in the first half, primarily through Alejandro Garnahco on the left, but they failed to find the back of the net.

Erik ten Hag's side were facing a rare defeat on home soil when Said Benrahma put the visitors in front, with United still trailing with 13 minutes remaining.Nayef Aguerd turned into his own net though, before Alejandro Garnacho put the hosts in front and Fred sealed it deep into stoppage-time.Here's how Erik ten Hag's side rated at Old Trafford... David de Gea 6 Presented with a commemorative trophy by Sir Alex Ferguson after breaking club's clean sheet record.

Player ratings from Manchester United's 2-2 draw against Leeds
David De Gea - 2 Didn't have to do much, but when he was called upon he didn't answer the call.Diogo Dalot - 4 First game back from injury.Was a bit careless with his passes.Thought he could have been more aggressive on the man for the second goal but understand why he wasn't.
