Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has sent a message of apology to Sweden fans after the country failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
The United centre-back played the full 90 minutes in Sweden's World Cup play-off match but couldn’t guide his country to Qatar following a 2-0 defeat to Poland on Tuesday. Sweden had a relatively successful 2018 tournament in Russia, reaching the quarter-finals before bowing out to England.
Lindelof was hoping to guide his nation to a second successive World Cup for the first time since the 2006 finals. But the loss means they have now failed to qualify for three of the last four World Cups.
