Former United keeper Peter Schmeichel says Anders Lindegaard, the man who the Red Devils have lined up to replace Edwin van der Sar, is not good enough to play at Old Trafford. Denmark keeper Lindegaard, 26, has provisionally agreed to move to United in January for £3.5m.

Manchester United are poised to make a bid for Danish goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard in January. Seen as a potential successor to Edwin van der Sar, the 26-year-old currently plays for Norwegian side Aalesunds.

Edwin van der Sar's hint that he may quit playing at the end of the season has led Manchester United to step up their search for a new goalkeeper. Norwegian club Aalesunds number one Anders Lindegaard and CSKA Moscow's Igor Akinfeev are two potential targets.

Manchester United are continuing to track Aalesunds' Denmark international goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard.
