It remains to be seen if the player will face any disciplinary action for his outburst, and it is not known what caused him to react so angrily.
Lindelof has been virtually an ever-present in the United side this season, making 33 appearances in total with one goal to his name.

He said: "This was the poorest we've played. We started too slowly and played into their hands. Our possession wasn't bright enough and quick enough, so it's disappointing.
"This was a big step backwards, mainly because of the quality of the possession and the passing."
Manchester United are yet to comment on the alleged incident.
