Danish outcast will be at Man United next season, contract talks ahead - Sport Witness

Remember Anders Lindegaard? Manchester United's Danish goalkeeper with a penchant for philosophical blogs? Well, he could be very much back in the picture at Manchester United next season according to Ekstra Bladet. The Danish newspaper reckon they've been informed by English press sources that Lindegaard is all set to be Louis van Gaal's second choice goalkeeper for the next campaign, and even looks all set to get a new contract. There haven't been English reports suggesting similar so we can only assume Ekstra Bladet have spoken to someone in the English press directly who hasn't been keen on running the story themselves. Or something else.

Lindegaard is a talented goalkeeper and should really be playing first team football but last season saw Manchester United buy Victor Valdes who took his place on the bench. The idea from Ekstra Bladet is that David De Gea will be leaving and Van Gaal will stick with the two goalkeepers he already has, rather than bringing someone else in during the transfer window. It sounds unlikely and so does Lindegaard extending his contract to be a substitute when he's made it very clear previously that he wasn't content with such a role.

Lindegaard's current contract runs until June 2016 so a decision is looming one way or another. It would be no surprise if talks had already started to find a solution but it would be a surprise if those talks, as Ekstra Bladet suggest, were focused on a renewal.
