United 'keeper set for exit and Champions League chance?


Celtic Park-bound?

Reports from Denmark suggest Glasgow Celtic are in line to sign Anders Lindegaard on a season-long loan deal.

The player's agent recently announced that a move away from Old Trafford looked on the cards for the Dane.

With David de Gea's place as lead custodian firmly established, United's 30-year-old second stopper has struggled for first-team opportunities at Old Trafford.

He made only one Premier League appearance under David Moyes last season, and looks unlikely to be given too many opportunities under Louis van Gaal.

Celtic, who recently parted company with ‘keeper Fraser Forster, remain in the Champions League, qualifying for the play-off round despite a 6-1 aggregate defeat at the hands of Legia Warsaw, who were later penalised for fielding an ineligible player.

Ronny Deila's men drew 1-1 away at Maribor in the play-off first-leg, so could yet offer Lindegaard the opportunity to play in Europe's elite competition. 

Should he move to Parkhead, the former Aalesund man, capped six times by his country, would be competing for the number one spot with Scottish stopper Craig Gordon and Poland's Łukasz Załuska.
