About Anders Lindegaard
Anders Rozenkrantz Lindegaard (Danish: [ˈɑnɐs ˈle̝nəˌkɒˀ]; born 13 April 1984) is a Danish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Lindegaard began his career with his hometown club, Odense Boldklub, but a lack of first-team opportunities led to a move to Norwegian club Aalesund in 2009, with whom he won the Norwegian Football Cup. After winning the Goalkeeper of the Year award in both Denmark and Norway in 2010, Lindegaard was signed by Manchester United. He spent five years at Old Trafford, initially as back-up to Edwin van der Sar and then to David de Gea, winning the Premier League title and two Community Shields. He moved to West Bromwich Albion in 2015, but was unable to break into the team and joined Preston North End in January 2016, initially on loan. He joined Burnley in September 2017. Lindegaard represented Denmark at under-19 and under-20 level before making his senior debut on 7 September 2010 against Iceland. He earned five caps for the Denmark national team in total. On 14 September 2011, Lindegaard made his first UEFA Champions League start for United against Portuguese side Benfica. He made his Old Trafford home debut on 19 February in another FA Cup match, this time against the Conference National side Crawley Town, in which United won 1–0.
