Lindelof is like the anti-Maguire:

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been thanked by the Swedish police for catching a thief who robbed an elderly woman on Monday.

The incident occurred in Lindelof's home city of Vasteras, 62 miles west of Sweden's capital Stockholm.

A police statement said a man in his 30s riding a bike had snatched a bag belonging to a woman in her 90s.

Lindelof is said to have "run after the suspected perpetrator", catching and holding him until the police arrived.

In a statement, Swedish police said they wanted to "take the opportunity and thank the witness for a quick and wise intervention to restore the plaintiff's property".

The woman who had her bag taken has reportedly offered to buy lunch for the 26-year-old Sweden international to thank him for his help.

The man who was arrested is suspected of aggravated theft and minor drug offences.

Lindelof made 35 Premier League appearances last season, helping United to a third-place finish.

Lindelof is like the anti-Maguire:

Maguire is a hero according to the Rag!

The more that comes out, the more and more he sounds like an absolute banana split :

Harry Maguire said to police officers 'do you know who I am?' during Greece altercation, court hears as case continues

and through all this, maguire still gets an England call up.

A Ronnie Pickering wannabe.

I did wonder why Ronnie Pickering was trending on Twitter

Maguire should never have been picked for England before this verdict but now it's impossible to justify him taking a place. What a twat

[Preezy]

Crikey - wonder what will happen now. Can't see him being extradited but surely he's got to lose the United captaincy and his England place?

[Preezy]

Seems he's been given a suspended sentence of 21 months. What a strawberry floating muppet.

Never mind Maguire, Messi wants to leave Barcelona!

Imagine if this was the reason why United haven't signed Sancho yet

[Saint of Killers]

He has a clause in his contract that... lets him leave on a free at the end of every season? You what

That can't be real.

Yeah, it's more nuanced than that...

Machine translation:

1) He wants to go. Now. He sent the burofax. My source is unbeatable.
2) Leo has clause in contract to terminate post 19-20 season.
3) Barcelona says "the date was June 30. You don't go"
4) Leo and FIFA: the season ended in August.
5) It leaves.

He’ll probably go back to Argentina and have everything his own way at a club there. Can’t see him being happy at any big European club.

Maguire.

Chelsea is almost to sign Ben Chilwell for £50m.

[DML]

Just wow about the Messi stuff. That would have been unthinkable three years ago.

[PatSharpsMullet]

Maguire has now been dropped from the England squad.
