Goalkeeping GOD!
Despite Manchester United getting beaten at the hands of Arsenal to be removed from the FA Cup contention, Louis Van Gaal is not in danger of being fired from his job.
The Dutchman enjoys the backing of the decision makers of the club and would probably be given a full wallet again to do the business in the summer.
Van Gaal was one of the biggest money spenders in the transfer market last year too.
The future of Anders Lindegaard at Old Trafford is not appearing to be very bright as the Danish goalkeeper managed to make a number of appearances during the time when Sir. Alex Ferguson was the coach of Manchester United but Lindegaard has not played a single minute in a competitive match under the tutelage of Louis van Gaal as the Dutch manager prefers using David de Gea.
Danish goalkeeper Andres Lindegaard could be set for a rare outing in the first-team at Manchester United after the Premier League club are having their fingers crossed about the fitness of first choice goalkeeper, David de Gea.
The Spaniard dislocated his finger during the recent international break and he is a major doubt for the weekend’s clash against Arsenal. Lindegaard, who often was preferred as the first choice during his early spell at the club, is yet to make a Premier League appearance this campaign. Last season, he featured in only three matches throughout the campaign.
A lonely goal from Peter Crouch gave Stoke City their first victory of the season as Stoke City received Newcastle United at the Britannia Stadium and Crouch’s goal secured all 3 points for his team. This defeat however, puts on more pressure to Alan Pardew as his future is at risk after sustaining yet another loss in the Premier League.
Newcastle United have not won a single match in the English League and the owner of the club, Mike Ashley could be thinking about sacking Alan Pardew from his managerial role in the team.
After looking closer to securing a first-team place at Manchester United, it looks as if Danish goalkeeper Andres Lindegaard is set for a move away from the club. Lindegaard emerged as a surprise candidate for the first time spot at United. This was largely down to the poor form of David de Gea at the start of his United career. After arriving to Old Trafford for £ 18 million, the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper struggled to settle in the Premier League. Lindegaard, however, proved a stable goalkeeper in the matches in which Sir Alex Ferguson depended upon him.
Anton Ferdinand has played down the reports of him joining the Thai club Police United.
Anton’s services had been secured by the Turkish Super Lig side, Antalyaspor, last summer, but, the defender didn’t play that many matches there. He just featured thrice in the season and his team ended up getting relegated to the second division.
Thereafter, the speculations started about Anton’s possible exit from Turkey and recently, the news came through that he agreed terms with Police United which plays in the top tier of Thai Football.
Manchester United striker Robin van Persie was singled out for massive praise following his displays for The Netherlands in their 5-1 demolition of world champions Spain in their opening Group B match in the World Cup.
Manchester United appointed Ryan Giggs as the interim manager until the end of the season, while it has been heavily speculated that the 41 year old could be handed the permanent role if he impresses in the four matches of the season. Giggs has been one of the celebrated players at Old Trafford in the last two decades. He also is the only player to have scored in every Premier league season up until now. He has been announced as the interim manager after the club parted company with David Moyes following a very poor season.

After a first season full of mistakes, David de Gea slowly seems to be establishing himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier league. During his first season, it appeared that Andres Lindegaard, who was expected to be a backup for de Gea, would establish himself as the unlikely first choice at United.
Back then, Sir Alex Ferguson was unsure about the trustworthiness of de Gea. This led to Lindegaard making several appearances in the first-team and he did not let Ferguson down. He was one of the reasons for United lifting the last title.
