Man United defender Victor Lindelof left 'shocked and devastated' after two Sweden fans shot dead in Brussels terrorist attack as he pays tribute to the victims in Instagram post

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been left 'shocked and devastated' by the deaths of two Swedish supporters in a terrorist attack in Brussels.

The Sweden international posted an Instagram tribute after two fans were shot dead and a third was injured on Monday ahead of the team's Euro 2024 qualifier against Belgium.

Police shot dead the gunman - a 45-year-old Tunisian national named by Belgian media as Abdesalem L - in a café in the Schaerbeek area of the city on Tuesday morning.

700 Swedish fans, plus players and coaching staff were locked inside the King Baudouin Stadium until 4am with the suspect, who'd deliberately targeted Swedes in what he described as a 'revenge attack' for the killing of a six-year-old US-Palestinian boy.
