New United keeper determined to claim No.1 jersey
Manchester United new boy Anders Lindegaard insists he has not moved to Old Trafford to simply sit on the bench.
The Danish international will move to England from current club Aalesunds in December, but will not be eligible to play until January.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson expects current No.1 Edwin van der Sar to retire from playing at the end of the season and is considering bringing in another keeper after being linked with the likes of Maarten Stekelenburg, Manuel Neuer and David De Gea.
But whatever the competition, Lindegaard insists he is up for the fight to become the new first choice at Old Trafford.
Fight
He told
VG: "I am not travelling to Manchester to sit on the bench and I feel that I am brought to the club to fight for a place in the starting XI.
"It's obvious that this is a dream. I have followed them since I was a small boy and my father is a big fan.
"For Manchester United, it's a long process to buy players and they have been tremendously careful.
"I feel they know me better than I do myself."
