Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard is attracting interest from France.

The Dane has been told by United manager Louis van Gaal he can leave this month.

Ekstra Bladet says Rennes and Saint Etienne are keen to take Lindegaard off United's hands.

Rennes are rated favourites to land Lindegaard, who could be handed a free transfer by United.

Former United defender Mikael Silvestre, now vice-president at Rennes, is driving the deal.
