Lindegaard can see thinking behind Manchester United keeper recruiting

Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard can see the thinking behind his signing by manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Like David de Gea, Lindegaard believes he fits the identikit Ferguson was looking for as Van der Sar's replacement, he is not willing to concede he will just be a bit-part player.

"In terms of goalkeepers you can definitely see the red line in what the club is doing," he said.

"You can see the type of goalkeeper the club wants. They are aiming for the same kind of goalkeeper as Edwin van der Sar. Good with your feet, tall, agile.

"That is how De Gea is. That is how I play myself."
