Anders Rosenkrantz Lindegaard (born 13 April 1984) is a Danish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Manchester United after transferring from Aalesund in November 2010.[1]

Club career

Odense

Lindegaard started his career at Odense Boldklub. He made his UEFA competition debut on 30 July 2009, in a 4–3 win over Rabotnicki.[2] During most of his time in Odense, he was kept out of the team by Arek Onyszko, and he had two loan spells at Kolding FC, where he remained undefeated in the ten league games he got for the team, after it had lost the first four games of the season,[3] and Aalesunds FK, who he would later join permanently. When Onyszko was sacked by Odense in June 2009 due to him being convicted for assaulting his ex-wife, Lindegaard was seen as his replacement.[4] However, the arrival of Roy Carroll at Odense two months later forced him to move on.[5]

Aalesund

In 2009 he joined Norwegian club Aalesund on loan and later permanently. In 2009 he won the Norwegian Cup with Aalesunds FK. In 2010, Lindegaard was awarded Goalkeeper of the Year in both Norway and Denmark

Manchester United

Since early November 2010, he was reported to have become a target of English club Manchester United. However, former United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel opined that Lindegaard was not yet ready for regular Premier League action.[5] On 23 November 2010, it was reported that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson expected to complete the signing of the player in the "next two or three weeks."[6] On 27 November 2010, Lindegaard joined Manchester United on a three-and-a-half year contract for an undisclosed fee.[1] He trained with the first team throughout December, but he was unable to play for his new club until the transfer window re-opened on 1 January 2011. Lindegaard was officially registered with the Premier League on 6 January 2011, and assigned the #34 jersey.[7] He made his first bench on 9th January in match against Liverpool FC in FA Cup.


International career

Lindegaard has represented Denmark at under-19, under-20 and senior level. He made his debut for Denmark under-19 national football team on 13 October 2002 in a 1–0 win over Switzerland.[2] He made his senior international debut in a Euro 2012 qualifier against Iceland on 7 September 2010. Denmark won 1–0.[8][9]
