Sir Alex Ferguson happy to continue rotating goalkeepers De Gea and Lindegaard


 Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted he has no selection headache when it comes to his goalkeepers.

The Scot has alternated between summer signing David de Gea and Danish international Anders Lindegaard throughout the season, with the latter being picked for Wednesday's 5-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage.

De Gea, who joined from Atletico Madrid, has also started to turn in some impressive performances despite a shaky start to life in the Premier League.

The Spaniard has six clean sheets and Lindegaard five, with the latter only conceding once in his six matches this season - during the 1-1 draw against Benfica.

And the experienced Scot is happy to give both shot stoppers a chance given their current run of good form.

Speaking to MUTV, Ferguson said: "It’s not a problem because I think Anders has that little bit more experience. I felt his was the right time to change and we’re going to do that with David.
"He’s only 20 years of age and is going to be a fantastic goalkeeper, there’s absolutely no doubt about that.

"Having Anders as a back-up in terms of giving the lad a break at the right time, is proving its worth. Anders is an outstanding goalkeeper and has a little bit more experience."
