Man Utd keeper Lindegaard plays full 90 in Blackpool friendly

Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard played in yesterday's friendly against Blackpool.

The Danish goalkeeper is in the frame to play against Arsenal on Saturday with David de Gea having dislocated a finger. It would be Lindegaard's first competitive game under Louis van Gaal and his first for United since April when he started against Newcastle in a 4-0 win.

Lindegaard didn't have too much to do but the 30-year-old was unable to prevent Francois Zoko scoring with a header before half-time which pleased the watching Blackpool coaching staff Lee Clark, Noel Blake and Alan Thompson.

Will Keane scored for United who had a relatively inexperienced side out except for Spain international Ander Herrera, Rhys James and Andreas Pereira.
