The unknown Anders Lindegaard has been linked with Manchester United Football Club.

Although Edwin van der Sar has agreed to play on for at least one more season for the Reds, Sir Alex Ferguson knows he must find a replacement sooner rather than later.

It took United six years to replace their last great goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel, who left at the end of the Treble winning season and only the Dutchman has filled the void since.

Reports in Extra Bladet claim Ferguson has set his sights on uncapped Danish goalkeeper Lindegaard, who is currently plying his trade in Norway for Aalesund.

Such a move would be considered a surprised due to the inexperience of the shot-stopper, and taking into account some of the other names which have been linked with Old Trafford.
