Lindegaard unconcerned as Man Utd move stalls

Anders Lindegaard claims he is relaxed that his potential transfer to Manchester United has been delayed. The Aalesund goalkeeper is hopeful that a £3.5million move will go through in January after both clubs provisionally agreed a deal and a medical was completed.

Old Trafford goalkeeping coach Eric Steele watched the 26-year-old in action a number of times before reporting back to manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

The goalkeeper is expected to be a reliable candidate to fill the gap left by Van der Sar and is particularly commanding in the air at 6ft 4in.

He told Ekstra Bladet: "Of course, it would be nice if it is sorted out.

"It is a big issue. It's about my future, but I don't feel too worried. I still have two years left on my contract, although that is of course Plan B.

"I have huge confidence in my own abilities and talent, whether it will be at Aalesund, Manchester United or somewhere else."
