"We have one of the best clean sheet stats in Europe. Victor and Harry have been a big, big part of that.
"Eric's played well when he's played, he'll got more and more games probably, but it's important we get him 100 per cent fit before we demand a game every three days from him."
While Lindelof played, it was his centre-back partner Harry Maguire who scooped the man of the match award.
The England international was solid at the back, helping the club keep their 10th clean sheet from their last 16 matches.
And Solskjaer was full of praise for Maguire after the game, deeming him to be a worthy club captain.
