Having spent so long at the club, the Swede feels he got the farewell he wanted in that final outing against the Villans, at the place he called home for so long.
"A perfect ending," Lindelof told MUTV. "Clean sheet and a win, so it was a great ending.
"To spend it with my family here [on the pitch afterwards], as well, was special. So, yeah, I couldn't have asked for a better ending."
But, despite that fitting conclusion, he recognises there have been moments of difficulty too, even if the fans have always remained behind the team throughout.
