Victor Lindelof thinks Manchester United must learn to manage games better this season after scoring in matches.
United needed three points against relegation candidates Luton on Saturday afternoon ahead of the international break and they made a strong start to the match, dominating the ball and creating chances.
Luton were hard to break down and Rasmus Hojlund wasted two big opportunities, but a breakthrough was eventually found before the hour mark when Lindelof found the back of the net with a powerful strike.

The striker gave Lindelof his first goal since December 2020 and he was the first player to emerge to speak after the win.
"I don't score that many goals, but it's always fun to help the team and today it was the matchwinner," Lindelof told Optus Sport.
"The most important thing was to get the three points and we got that today. I think we played well in the first half. We kept the ball, we were patient and created a few good chances as well.
"After we scored the goal, the levels dropped down a little bit and I think that's what we need to improve just to keep controlling the game, even if we score.
"I think it's all about getting the results, we got the win today, we have to stick together, do our thing and play better in the future."
Lindelof was asked about Christian Eriksen and Hojlund going off injured and added: "It's not ideal when you have injuries, but hopefully it's not too bad with them two, we'll have to wait and see"
