Anders Lindegaard has no doubt former Manchester United teammate David de Gea is the best in the world.

The Preston North End keeper worked with De Gea at Old Trafford.

Lindegaard, speaking exclusively to 888Sport, said: "He is definitely. I'm really happy that I've had the pleasure of playing with him and to see his development. He's not only a great goalkeeper but a really nice guy. To label the best goalkeeper in the world is down to your preferences in how you want a goalkeeper to be like.

"He is very different from Manuel Neuer, or Lloris; Petr Cech or Courtois. So he's got aspects of the game where you can say he is definitely the best in the world. He is mentally very strong and pulls off some fantastic saves. In those two areas he is the best and will only get better in the next ten years."
