THE elderly woman who had her bag snatched before Victor Lindelof came to her rescue wants to but the Manchester United hero lunch.
It comes as police thanked the quick-thinking defender, 26, who chased and caught a thief who robbed the woman in her 90s.
The crime took place in Lindelof’s home city of Vasteras, which is located to the west of Stockholm.
According to a statement from the local cops, a man in his thirties riding a bike snatched a bag belonging to a woman in her nineties yesterday morning.
Without naming Lindelof directly, it read: “A man who was in the vicinity is said to have run after the suspected perpetrator, caught up with him and held him until the police arrived at the scene.
“The police want to take the opportunity and thank the witness for a quick and wise intervention.”
And Lindelof’s heroics have also earned him a free meal.
Aftonbladet claims that the woman who was the victim wants to buy the centre-half lunch as a thank you.

The man who was arrested faces charges of aggravated theft and minor drug offences.
Lindelof, who moved to United from Benfica in 2017, was understood to have been with his wife at the time.
He made 35 Premier League appearances last season for the Red Devils as they finished third under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
And a Manchester United spokesperson added: “He ran after the thief and got the bag back without using any violence.
“Victor believes he was just doing what anybody would have done in that situation.”
