Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has no doubts about David De Gea's ability.

De Gea came to England with a big reputation, despite the fact that he is only 21. Lindegaard, on the other hand, is six years older but has less actual experience of playing first team football at a high level.

Asked if he thought De Gea could one day be the best in the world, Lindegaard told the Daily Mail: "Of course I do. He has extraordinary attributes, extremely explosive and powerful.

"He is only 21. His potential is massive and there is no doubt he will be United's best goalkeeper at some point.

"My job is to make sure it is not until I have retired. Which is 10 years away."
