Man Utd keeper Lindegaard: Nothing personal in De Gea battle

Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard says battling for the No1 spot won't get personal.

The Dane insists he enjoys working with David De Gea.

Lindegaard said: "There is only room for one goalkeeper in the team. I think we have a very good competition - we have at least two top goalkeepers, and Ben Amos as well who is very promising. It is like that in all positions with United and that is how it should be. I am never going to complain about competition.

"David [De Gea] is a great guy to work with. We have a great working environment. I accept the manager's choice every time. He has proven he is the best manager in the world and I will always respect his decisions.

"We are going into a busy programme. We seem to have two matches a week until January and I am ready. If you expect me to say I am happy to be number two, that is not how it is. I am here because I want to be number one."
