Lindegaard set to start for Man Utd against Arsenal

Anders Lindegaard is set to step in for David de Gea for Manchester United's clash with Arsenal.

The Sunday Telegraph says Lindegaard will make his first Manchester United appearance in over six months against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium next Saturday if De Gea fails to recover from a dislocated finger.

United are awaiting news on the full extent of De Gea's injury after being informed on Friday evening that he had dislocated the fifth finger on his right hand during training with Vicente del Bosque's Spain squad.

De Gea was immediately ruled out of Saturday night's Euro 2016 qualifier against Belarus in Huelva and is also expected to miss Tuesday's friendly against Germany, but United are hopeful that the injury will respond to treatment and not lead to the four-week lay-off that has been suggested as a worst-case scenario.
