Former Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has announced his retirement.

The Dane is hanging up the gloves at Helsingborg.

He said, "I will stop now because it is the right thing to do. I am fed up with playing football both physically and mentally. This is in line with a decision I made two years ago.

"I look back on a career with humility and pride. I have experienced everything I dreamed of as a child. It has made me wise about myself and my life.

"I feel settled and well prepared. But I have also been aware that this day would come for the past five years.

"Of course, it is also anxiety-provoking. I think most people would worry about having to quit their dream job mid-life. But I won't complain. I am happy and grateful for everything football has given."
