Lindelof, 27, was substituted in the 74th
minute at Carrow Road after struggling to catch his breath.
United interim manager Ralf Rangnick said
after the match the Sweden defender also had a higher heart rate than normal,
prompting the decision to replace him.
In a statement on Tuesday, United said:
"Victor is currently undergoing a series of precautionary investigations.
He has recovered well from the episode he experienced in the match against
Norwich.
"All indications are that this is not
linked to any
COVID-19 outbreak within the club."
United's Premier League match away to
Brentford, scheduled for Tuesday night, was postponed after a number of
positive COVID-19 tests among players and staff led to the closure of their
Carrington training complex on Monday.
United's fixture in west London was the
second
Premier League game to fall to the virus in three days, after Tottenham
Hotspur's match at Brighton on Sunday was called off.
