Lindegaard on his De Gea job-share
Anders
Lindegaard claims David De Gea will have to share Manchester United's No
1 spot with him. De Gea began the season in goal, before Sir Alex
Ferguson axed him for his poor display against Fulham and brought in
Lindegaard. The young Spaniard did not command his area against the
Cottagers and Lindegaard feels he has drawn level with him in the
goalkeepers' pecking order after starting the last two games. “At this
point I see David's and my roles as co-workers rather than No 1 and No
2,” said the Dane, who insisted last week that he and De Gea are
friendly rivals. “He has his strengths and I have mine and the gaffer is
world class at picking the right teams and I trust in that and I accept
his decision.” Lindegaard, 28, expects Ferguson to alternate between
them and was delighted to register United's first clean sheet of the
season in Saturday's 4-0 win over Wigan at Old Trafford. “I'm happy to
play,” he said. “Look at Old Trafford, it's amazing to play in front of
that crowd. It's so historic and I'm just happy to play whenever I can.”
In The Sun, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger outlines his fear that he will be haunted by former striker Robin van Persie, following
his summer transfer to United.. “I’d have preferred him to go to a
foreign club, so that he doesn’t haunt us,” the Gunners boss is quoted.
“You have to accept it, it’s part of life. Obviously, it hurts to see
him in another shirt.”
Elsewhere, The Guardian says
United and Liverpool are in talks about a tribute to the Hillsborough
victims and their families, prior to Sunday’s meeting at Anfield. Both
Sir Alex Ferguson and Brendan Rodgers have appealed for supporters to
cease chanting about tragedies suffered both clubs.
