So we'll see how it gets, but of course you always want to play. "I have just got to the club. The last training week has gone very well and I feel I'm getting into it more and more."It has been good - getting to know the club, everything around, all the players, the leaders and the system. It is a very important time for me. "It is clear that there is a difference. There are more eyes on Manchester United than there are on Benfica."Lindelof, 23, is with the Sweden squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and Belarus.</blockquote>
